Study Strategies

## Guessing Wisely\n\nThe HSPT doesn’t penalize for wrong answers, so it’s smart to answer every question! Use the process of elimination to narrow down choices.\n\n- Cross out obviously wrong answers.\n- If unsure, make your best guess from the remaining options.\n- Trust your instincts, especially if you can eliminate one or two choices.\n\nThis strategy boosts your chances of getting more answers right!

Examples

  • Eliminating two out of four choices in a vocabulary question before guessing.
  • Choosing the most logical answer when you’re uncertain but have ruled out others.
