Wouldn’t it be nice if …..the problem had nice numbers?

Change the “mean” test numbers to “nice” test numbers and then do the problem.

Page 7: Test Taking

Estimate

Sometimes being close is good enough. Try doing it with nice numbers too.

Page 8: Test Taking

Just do it

Some problems you just have to do, so just do them!

Page 9: Test Taking

Plug and Chug

Plug in your own numbers (KISS) and see what happens

Page 10: Test Taking

Eliminate the Impossible

Use estimation and common sense to rule out the impossible choices.

Only the possible answer will remain.

Page 11: Test Taking

Using Answer ChoicesNo need to work for the answer, be lazy!

Use the answer choices and see if the result is true or false.
