Study Strategies
## Smart Guessing
If you’re unsure of an answer, use elimination to rule out choices that don’t make sense.
Then, use estimation to get close to the right answer.
- Cross out obviously wrong answers
- Estimate calculations to see which answers are reasonable
- Make your best guess if you’re stuck—never leave a question blank!
These techniques can boost your score by helping you choose wisely.
Examples
- Eliminate answers that are way too big or too small for a math problem.
- Estimate the result of a complex calculation to match it to the closest answer choice.
