[99]
questions if something is very hard don't spend聽
more than one minute on it in her book a mind聽聽

for numbers barbara oakley recommends the heart聽

powerful organ it keeps working in the聽

video hey before i give you strategy number two聽聽
[143]
if you want to shout out in my next video write聽
me a catchy comment with the hashtag chat chatters聽聽
[151]
strategy number two don't rush read the question聽
twice pay attention to words like not always which聽聽
[159]
completely change the question also double check聽
the exact requirements of the question underline聽聽
[165]
these words and other important keywords if you聽
think the first option is correct don't rush to聽聽
[171]
circle the omr sheet make sure you read all the聽
options carefully before choosing the answer聽聽
[178]
you never know you might find an all of the above聽
somewhere strategy number three use clues from the聽聽
[186]
question this strategy has three subparts haha聽
just like mcqs first in math questions if the聽聽
[194]
calculation seems too long-winded one easy method聽
is to put the options back into the question聽聽
[200]
and check if the equation balances two in english聽
or social studies based questions use grammar as聽聽
[207]
a tool to help you example this is your question聽
option a is missing the verb and option d has no聽聽
[215]
connection to the people of iceland these options聽
can be eliminated even though both may be true聽聽
[221]
and you're finally left with option b and c three聽
check units and dimensions these will give you聽聽
[229]
vital clues so if the calculation is for an area聽
of an object for example rule out the options聽聽
[235]
that are not in square units even before you聽
begin to solve the question strategy number four聽聽
[241]
is called context based memory sometimes we ponder聽
over mcq questions with foggy answers in our mind聽聽
[249]
we're trying our level best to recall it but聽
you're just stuck and to our rescue psychology聽聽
[255]
has a trick called context-based memory it聽
says that to recall some missing information聽聽
[261]
try to remember where you studied that piece of聽
information was it in a book or online was it from聽聽
[268]
a tuition teacher or from a friend even trying聽
to remember which corner of the page that graph聽聽
[274]
was that may trigger your mind to connect the dots聽
and find the missing information it works even if聽聽
[281]
you forgot where you kept your keys and with that聽
key information let's move on to our next strategy聽聽
[289]
strategy number five is practice practice聽
practice there is no strategy to crack mcqs聽聽
[296]
that beats this one practice every day check your聽
answers go back to the concepts and understand the聽聽
[303]
types of questions being asked and if you want a聽
perfect timetable perhaps to study for any exam聽聽
[308]
then i will drop a link for you under聽
this video and if you're enjoying this聽聽
[312]
then don't forget to press that little thumbs up聽
now you're left with the tough questions and if聽聽
[319]
there is no negative marking or maybe the聽
negative marking is very low then perhaps聽聽
[324]
you can go ahead and make some smart guesses so聽
here are my 10 tricks for intelligent guessing聽聽
[332]
tip number one eliminate the options the general聽
formula for solving mcq is to increase the聽聽
[338]
probability of the right answer by removing all聽
the possible wrong answers so start by removing聽聽
[344]
the options which are clearly wrong sometimes you聽
might get lucky and be left with only one option聽聽
[351]
tip number two long tail keywords in his book rock聽
break scissors a practical guide to outguessing聽聽
[359]
and outwitting almost everybody the author william聽
poundstone has revealed some marvelous findings聽聽
[367]
through his research with huge sets of mcq data聽
his book reveals that the option with the longest聽聽
[374]
statement has the highest probability of being聽
right because the test makers have to make sure聽聽
[380]
that the right answer is indisputably right tip聽
number three avoid the footprint pound stone also聽聽
[388]
discovered that two successive questions rarely聽
have the same correct option for example if you're聽聽
[394]
solving question number 30 and find yourself聽
clueless then look at the answer to question聽聽
[399]
number 29 and question number 31 and don't select聽
the same letters they have the least probability聽聽
[406]
of being correct tip number four golden options聽
research has shown that if you don't know the聽聽
[413]
answer at all for any particular mcq question and聽
one of the options has either all of the above聽聽
[420]
or none of the above you can bet on these options聽
they have a disproportionately high probability of聽聽
[426]
being correct one reminder however is to make sure聽
that either there is no negative marking in your聽聽
[433]
paper or the negative marking is very low before聽
you try guessing too many answers tip number five聽聽
[440]
true versus false in the tug of war between聽
true and false in a true false question聽聽
[445]
pound stone revealed that true is more likely聽
to be the correct answer than false so if you're聽聽
[451]
guessing wildly then choose true tip number six聽
avoid north-south options remove extreme values聽聽
[460]
or completely unrelated values for example you聽
have four options like banyan tree acacia tree聽聽
[466]
koala bear and bamboo tree clearly koala bear聽
would be the wrong answer similarly with numbers聽聽
[473]
remove extreme numbers when in doubt聽
the middle order options are much safer聽聽
[478]
for example if your options are 100 150 200 and聽
300 then perhaps 300 may not be the right answer聽聽
[487]
tip number seven if two options are similar聽
sounding or if they have the same keyword聽聽
[493]
appearing in both these options chances are聽
that one of them could be the right option聽聽
[498]
also if two options are completely opposite聽
chances are the right answer may be one of them聽聽
[505]
tip number eight grammatically incorrect options聽
are most likely to be wrong tip number nine pound聽聽
[513]
stone found that when a question has three options聽
a b c then there may not be any clear bias but聽聽
[520]
when there were four options perhaps a b c and d聽
then b had the highest probability of being right聽聽
[527]
at 28 percent closely followed by c at 25 percent聽
and finally tip number 10 pound stone found聽聽
[536]
that when a question has five options the fifth聽
option had the highest probability of being right聽聽
[543]
but one caution here avoid guessing more聽
than five to ten percent of the questions聽聽
[548]
try to practice more learn more trust your聽
own instinct and remember that hard work is聽聽
[554]
the shortest path to success and now coming to聽
our question which we asked you in the beginning聽聽
[560]
and the right answer was option a saint edward聽
school english and kudos to all of you who聽聽
[566]
guessed it right don't forget to leave a comment聽
for me with the chat chatters and happy learning
