How to approach Inferences questions
- ACTUALLY WRITE OUT which logical points from the text before the blank must be used.
- Read the whole text, not only the part right before the blank. Do check that part for a shift or a contrast, though.
- About 70% of the time the text has established a direction; follow it. The other 30% of the time, eliminate the three choices that are not factual or that go against the text.
The habit that ruins students on this type
Students read only the part right before the blank.
