Tip #4: Treat answer choices as true or false statements
Look at each answer choice on its own and determine whether the choice itself is a true or false
statement.
Tip #3: Read the entire question stem and all the answer choices carefully before
selecting the correct answer
The stem is the part of the question that presents the problem or scenario.
Reading all choices helps you understand the full context of the question.
This approach prevents hasty decisions based on the first seemingly correct answer.
If an answer choice is true, then mark it and continue examining the other answer choices before
selecting your answer.
If there are at least two answer choices that you find to be true statements, select the most
relevant/complete/precise and/or applicable answer choice based on the question stem and
question/fact scenario.
If an answer choice is false (regardless if it’s just one tiny inaccuracy), then you can eliminate it.
Tip #5: Process of elimination
If the answer you had in mind is not listed as an answer choice, you can’t think of an answer, or you’re
unsure of the correct answer among the choices given, then use the process of elimination to get you
closer to the correct answer.
Eliminate irrelevant, extreme, unfamiliar, or silly options
Cross off clearly incorrect answers:
Use your knowledge to identify and remove wrong options. This increases your chances of
selecting the correct answer from the remaining choices.
Question: “Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a creditor to file a bankruptcy
application against a debtor?” Answer choices might include valid requirements, such as the
debtor being an insolvent person, and, of course, an answer choice with invalid requirements.
Eliminate the known valid requirements to find the correct answer.
