The 6 Most Common Mistakes
As you tackle Sentence Completions, keep
the following common mistakes in mind. Some are mistakes to avoid
when taking the actual test. Others are mistakes to avoid during
your preparation for the test.
-
Looking at the answer choices first, without having
some idea of what the correct answer should be.
- Spending
too much time (more than a minute) on any one item in a set.
- Failing
to practice sufficiently—reading the book is not
enough!
- Failing
to practice the step methods on every practice test item. You’ll
need these methods when the answer isn’t obvious
to you.
- Refusing
to fly Bombing Runs. That is, refusing to do items out of order
based on your judgment of which will be easier and yield points
more quickly.
- Refusing
to guess when you’ve eliminated one answer choice.
