Brief Summary
This video provides a strategy for tackling test questions when you're unsure of the answer. The key is to skip the question initially, mark it for later review, and leverage information from other questions on the test to deduce the correct answer. This approach turns the test-taker into a detective, using the test itself as a resource.
- Skip difficult questions and mark them for review.
- Use other questions on the test to find clues and answers.
- Treat the test as a source of information to solve problems.
Introduction
The video introduces a method to determine answers to test questions when you're initially unsure. The primary strategy is to avoid immediately trying to answer the question if you're stuck.
Becoming a Test Detective
The video advises to mark the question with a star and move on to other questions. The core of the strategy involves using the information provided in other questions on the test to help you find the answer to the question you skipped. The test-taker should approach the test like a detective, gathering clues from various parts of the test.
Example
The video provides an example where a question asks to identify a research method, but you're unsure of the answer. Later in the test, a question about Pavlov reveals that he used experiments for research. This later question provides the answer to the earlier one, illustrating how information from one question can inform the answer to another.
