Sandra was quite overwhelmed by her final exam. Many of the test questions were difficult to answer, and she felt like she would
not be able to complete the exam. What would you suggest Sandra do? A. Sandra should guess answer "C" on all of the questions, because teachers use answer "C" as the correct answer most often. C. Sandra should leave the questions she is unsure about blank because unmarked questions are never counted wrong. B. Sandra should answer the questions in numerical order so that she does not skip any. It will not matter if she doesn't finish in time. D. Sandra should answer the easy questions first. Then she should go back and reevaluate the more difficult question.
D. Sandra should answer the easy questions first. Then she should go back and reevaluate the more difficult question.
This gives Sandra the best chance to do well. By answering the easier questions first, Sandra can be sure to answer the ones correctly that she is confident with. Sometimes this can then help the brain get into a groove and can help lead to answering questions that may have been seen as difficult earlier. When approaching the more difficult questions Sandra should be able to at least eliminate one answer choice. Even if she guesses, she will have increased her chances since she is choosing between three possibilities instead of just 2.
