Strategy for Multiple answer questions
Hi Team
Seems i am mostly struggling with the multiple answer questions on the exam. On all practice exams in these questions I seem to almost get them correct due to some answers seem very probable.
And i usually just miss by 1.
Does anyone have any strategy on tackling these questions? Maybe a way to concentrate on directing me to the obvious one. I know we keep saying that the test is not out to trick you. But over and over it seems they just do.
Thank you in advance for the help.

Read the question carefully, pay attention to words like would, should, not, etc. These words will determine the answer in some cases. Also eliminate the wrong answer first, and make sure you calm down and read all the answers even though you think you may have found the correct answer already.

I agree, and although we all might feel like we read the question carefully, the pressure might allow us to rush. Don't rush, and with what has helped me from Real Estate to Financial Services, and now the A.R.E.; with regards to questions with answers beyond the normal A,B,C, & D, I have found that typically I can at least eliminate (1) of the 6, or (2-3) of the 8-offered, because they don't fit the question.
Of course, I always "mark" these questions and move onward; and once I return, the question seems to be much easier to manage.
Keep in mind, these type questions are the most critical, because they absorb most of your time, and its "all or nothing" as you know. Go through Gang Chen's mock-up exams, and allot 3-4 days of JUST answering these types of questions, and soon you will get your own rhythm. Hope this helps, YOU GOT THIS, KEEP ROCKIN' IT!
