Careful Reading and Double-Checking

Avoiding Simple Mistakes

Read each question carefully to make sure you understand what’s being asked. Double-check your answers if you have time.

  • Watch out for tricky wording or negatives in questions.
  • Review your answers for careless mistakes before moving on.

This careful approach can help you catch errors and improve your score.

Examples

  • Noticing that a question asks for the 'incorrect' answer.

  • Catching a punctuation error when reviewing your work.
