Reading Carefully and Following Directions

Read Every Question Closely\n\nCareful reading helps you understand what the problem is really asking. Even small words can change the answer!\n\n- Underline or circle key words in the question.\n- Make sure you answer exactly what’s being asked.\n- Don’t rush—take your time to read all the choices before answering.\n

Examples

  • Underline the word 'total' in a question to remember you need to add.

  • Noticing the word 'difference' tells you to subtract.
