Q

How to Rock Conclusion Questions:

A
  • Look back up at the stimulus and bracket the conclusion if you haven’t already.
    • Skipping this step to “save time” will result in an unnecessary wrong answer.
  • Translate the conclusion. Repeat that translation to yourself
    • You cant expect the correct answer to always mimic the exact words of the stimulus.
  • Choose the closet approximation of your translation
