Review the quizzes right after you do them. For anything that you’re not 100% on google the first bunch of words of the question and seek out explanations online. If after spending some time reviewing you’re still having a tough time then bring the question to QA or to your next tutoring session. Really fight to make sure you have an intuitive way to eliminate 4 of the answer choices. Remember: 1 is correct 4 are incorrect. Really push yourself to be black and white with correct v. incorrect. It is extremely rare that two answer choices are technically OK but one is stronger. It can happen but we’re talking 1% of the time. So, with that in mind let’s have the mindset that it never happens and that we need to be binary: 1 correct. 4 incorrect. That mindset is key to improvement. For SC we’d recommend reviewing CORRECT as well to get the most possible out of the questions. There’s always something to learn. SC patterns repeat themselves. One more tip: read the right answer twice. This helps reinforce the correct patterns. Add anything you get wrong or struggled with to your review folder. Going back to these screenshots is a vital part of the preparation.
