Study Strategies

True or False Test
Every part of a true sentence most be "true". If any one part of the sentence is false, the whole sentence is false despite many other true statements .

Pay close attention to negatives, qualifiers, absolutes, and long strings of statements.

Negatives can be confusing
If the question contain negatives, as no, not, cant not. drop the negatives and read what remains.Decide wether that sentence is true or false.

Qualifiers are words that restrict of open up general statements.
Words like"sometime, often, frequently, ordinarily, generally'' open up the possibilities of making accurate statements. They make more modest claims, are more likely to reflect reality, and usually indicate true answer.
