Trusting Your Instincts

Go With What Sounds Right

If you're well-prepared, your instincts can guide you. If a choice sounds awkward or wrong, it probably is. But always double-check with the rules you know.

  • Listen to the sentence in your head.
  • Don't overthink—your first answer is often correct.

Confidence comes from practice and familiarity with the test.

Examples

  • Choosing the answer that sounds clear and natural.

  • Avoiding overly complicated fixes to simple errors.
