Using Estimation and Logic

Smart Estimation Saves Time

Estimation and logical thinking help you quickly check if an answer is reasonable, even if you’re pressed for time. Rounding numbers or making quick calculations can help eliminate obviously wrong answers and guide you toward the right choice.

Examples

  • Rounding numbers to estimate the sum in a multi-step problem.

  • Eliminating answer choices that are far too big or small based on a quick estimate.
