Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.18,0:00:59.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Use a piece of paper or your hand \Nto cover the answer options

Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.22,0:01:08.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before looking at the answers.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.40,0:01:12.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, why do this rather \Nthan just reading the options?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.40,0:01:15.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because you won't get confused \Nby the answer choices

Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.52,0:01:33.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,many students skip this step \Non at least a few questions

Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.26,0:01:37.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because most multiple choice test questions

Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.56,0:01:41.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there may be multiple correct answers.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.92,0:01:46.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you stop at the first one, you may \Nnot see the most correct one.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.12,0:01:58.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can increase your odds by \Neliminating answers you know to be incorrect.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.16,0:02:03.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you can narrow it down to two or three answers
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.05,0:02:07.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll increase your odds for guessing \Ncorrectly from the remaining answer choices.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.52,0:02:11.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll do a separate video about guessing strategies \Nfor multiple choice tests and link it below.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.56,0:02:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because it's a separate video all by itself.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.08,0:02:24.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Tip number six is specifically for \Nall the above type questions.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.86,0:02:28.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You don't actually have to know \Nif all of the above answers are correct.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.08,0:02:30.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You just need to know if more than one are correct,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.92,0:02:31.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.82,0:02:34.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if the question has five possible answers,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.47,0:02:36.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the last of which is "all of the above"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.32,0:02:38.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you know \Nthe first and third answers are correct,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.60,0:02:40.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but are uncertain about the other two,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.32,0:02:43.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can confidently answer all of the above.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.79,0:02:46.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Tip number seven is to answer every question.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.95,0:02:51.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was amazed as a teacher to see students \Nnot answer multiple choice questions.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.06,0:02:52.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I understand that you may not know the answer,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.94,0:02:55.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you can certainly \Nwrite or circle a random answer.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.06,0:02:58.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There can also be a lot of strategy to guessing
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.82,0:03:00.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which I'll make a separate video on.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.76,0:03:04.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The only time you don't want to guess is\Nwhen you lose points for wrong answers,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.60,0:03:09.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in my experience, the vast majority of tests \Naward you zero points for a wrong answer,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.44,0:03:12.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but on certain tests, you'll lose \Npoints for answering incorrectly.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.52,0:03:15.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So make sure \Nyou know the test before you guess.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.60,0:03:19.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now watch this video on last minute test \Ntaking strategies that will work
