Partially Correct 
Your correct answer choice will accurately and completely answer the question. You will sometimes encounter answer
choices that are mostly true or that only address part of the question. Make sure your answer choice addresses all aspects
of the question and is correct in its entirety.

True but Not Correct 
Not all answer choices that are true are correct. Just because you can map it directly back to the passage and confirm
its validity does not mean it properly answers the question. Before selecting an answer choice, be sure you are clear
about what the question stem is asking of you and that your answer both responds to the question stem and is drawn
from and supported by the passage. 
Too Extreme 
Be wary of answer choices that use words like always, never, everyone, and so on. While the use of these terms does
not always signify an incorrect answer, their inclusion does merit additional attention. When you encounter this type of
absolute language in an answer choice in Reading Comprehension (example: all the neighborhoods will be affected by
the drought), you want to be sure that you can map it directly back to the passage. If the passage indicates that 
of the neighborhoods have experienced some negative consequences as a result of the drought, you cannot logically
conclude that 
all
of them have. 
Prep Tip:
Reading Comprehension questions are concerned with your ability to critically analyze
written information, not your ability to express your personal opinion on the passage. Keep
your opinion under wraps and ensure you are only using the information in the passage and
logical inferences drawn from that information to select your answer choices. 
Developing a Strategy 

---

Many people fail to prepare adequately for the Reading Comprehension questions because they mistakenly equate their
ability to “read” and “comprehend” with their ability to tackle this section. Reading Comprehension questions require more
than simply being able to recap what you have read. You must be able to critically assess the reasoning, understand
the structure, and pinpoint why particular evidence, vocabulary, and counter-
examples are introduced—all within a short time period. 
Developing an effective approach to answering these questions is of critical importance. The first two sections below walk
you through how to read the exam and process your answers in order to maximize your time. Other parts of developing
an approach involve honing your vocabulary and, most importantly, the pace at which you are able to read, process, and
correctly answer Reading Comprehension questions.
