- Blind Guessing: Guessing may seem like a time-saver, but it’s not an effective strategy without some rationale behind it. Always try to eliminate as many incorrect options as possible before making a guess, even if you’re unsure of the correct answer.
- Not Making Educated Guesses: If time is running out and you’re forced to guess, do it strategically. Eliminate distractors and focus on options that seem most aligned with the passage’s main ideas. Blind guessing reduces your chances of choosing the correct answer.
