  2. Rephrase the question - Make it clear what its asking you to do

  3. TRY and answer the question in your own words
    If we know what we’re looking for, we’re less likely to fall into traps.

Choosing an Answer

  1. Go through every answer choice
  2. Decide if the answer is:
    1. Right - Go through the correct answer piece by piece and justify every bit of the answer using evidence from the text:
      1. Yes or No
      2. Be a Car
    2. Wrong - Find a very specific reason why the answer is wrong:
      1. No Evidence
      2. Contradicts Information in the Passage
      3. Not relevant to the question being asked
    3. I don’t know - Skip over this option and come back
  3. If you have "I don’t know"s remaining:
    Go through the answer choice word by word, and find evidence in the passage to support.
