Question-Handling Strategies
| For those questions that have only one right answer, usually two or three of the answers are obviously incorrect and two of the answers are plausible. Unless the answer leaps out at you (if it does, reread the question to look for a trick; sometimes those questions are the ones you're most likely to get wrong), begin the process of answering by eliminating the most obviously wrong answers. You can usually immediately eliminate at least one answer of the possible choices for a question because it matches one of these conditions:
After you eliminate all the obviously wrong answers, you can apply your retained knowledge to eliminate more answers. You should look for items that sound correct but refer to actions, commands, or features that are not present or not available in the situation the question describes. If you're still faced with a blind guess among two or more potentially correct answers, reread the question. Picture how each of the possible remaining answers would alter the situation. Be especially sensitive to terminology; sometimes the choice of words ("remove" instead of "disable") can make the difference between a right answer and a wrong one. You should guess at an answer only after you've exhausted your ability to eliminate answers and you are still unclear about which remaining possibilities are correct. An unanswered question offers you no points, but guessing gives you at least some chance of getting a question right; just don't be too hasty when making a blind guess. Numerous questions assume that the default behavior of a particular utility is in effect. If you know the defaults and understand what they mean, this knowledge can help you cut through many of the trickier questions. Simple "final" actions might be critical as well. If you must restart a utility before proposed changes take effect, a correct answer might require this step as well. |
