Study Strategies

## Outsmart the Tricky Questions\n\nIf you don’t know an answer, don’t worry! Use elimination to cross out choices that don’t make sense, then make an educated guess from what’s left. \n\n- **Rule out wrong answers:** Sometimes, just one answer fits the question.\n- **Look for clues:** Words like “always” or “never” can help you spot incorrect choices.\n- **Trust your logic:** Even if you’re unsure, eliminate what you can and pick from the remaining options.\n\nThere’s no penalty for wrong answers on the ISEE, so always give it your best shot!

Examples

  • Crossing out answers that are too big or too small to fit the question.
  • Guessing between two remaining choices after eliminating the others.
