Foolish Question These are questions that lack merits for they provide answers

FINALLY. Develop a sense of positive attitude in choosing the correct, the best,
and the nearest answer. The following will be your deciding factor in doing this. Visit
Slide 36:
Once you are sure with the answer, never read the question repeatedly. It creates
confusion which later may tempt you to erase and change your answer. If you know
the answer, read it twice and mark your answer directly, then proceed to the next
item. Note: This is not a kind of good practice in any examination. Visit
Slide 37:
Be a keen observer in the series of answer that has a pattern. Such pattern will
make you decide and gives clue as to the answer in a given item which you find it
hard to select. Consider the following example in doing this. Note: Pattern is not a
continuous one, it is intermittent & is therefore break at a given instance. Visit

50/50 Chance :
50/50 Chance Dont just decide according to fate. Be intelligent in choosing the
answer in an item which you find it hard to decide for the right answer. 50/50
chance is simply done by elimination method. On the four (4) choices, decide what
are the two (2) that are not closely related or associated with the question. The
remaining two (2) would be your choice. In this instance at least you got a 50/50
chance of hitting the right answer. In a 10-item examinations you find it hard to HIT
THE RIGHT ANSWER you will probably hit a mark of 5 or more correct answers. Visit
