2. 

Words Limit 

Usually if there is a word limit for answer, it is no more than 3 words. 

Prepositions (in, of, to, at, etc) and articles (a, an, the) do count for a word. The 

reason behind this 3 word limit is small space on the Answer Sheet. 

 

3.  One question – one answer 

Don’t give more than one answer to one question, even if you see more than one 

option. It will result in ZERO score. For example, if you see in a passage names of 

3 countries that qualify as an answer and the question asks to name just one – 

don’t even think of giving 2 or 3 names, the only correct answer is to name 

exactly one. Only if they ask for two names, you should name two, etc.
