Manhattan Prep
  • strategy for GENERAL Q's:
    if you are stuck between two answer choices, use a SCORING SYSTEM to assign a value to each one--
    1) assign the answer choice two points if it relates to the first paragraph;
    2) give one more point for each additional related paragraph;
    3) in the event of a tie, select the answer choice that pertains to the first paragraph over any choices that do not
  • strategy for SPECIFIC Q's:
    1 Identify the KEY WORDS in the question. Then, go back to the passage and find those key words.
    DO NOT look at the answer choices.
    2 Find one or two PROOF SENTENCES to defend the correct answer choice.
  • strategies for ALL Reading Comprehension Questions
    1 JUSTIFY every word in the answer choice
    2 AVOID EXTREME words if possible
    3 INFER as LITTLE as possible "the passage suggest...=the passage STATES JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY"
    4 PREVIEW the question (first check the number of questions, preview the first question, then read the passage)
        The biggest difference between GENERAL Q's and SPECIFIC Q's is the strategy you use: with general questions, you dive right into eliminating answer choices, but with specific questions, you go back to the passage and find proof sentences before looking at the answer choices.
  • more seven sub-types:
    1 main idea
    2 lookup detail
    3 infer about facts
    4 infer about opinions
    5 author's purpose
    6 minor types(Extrapolate the Content of the passage)
      Types of WRONG ANSWER CHOICES
  1、 Out of scope
  • Introduces an unwarranted assertion
  • Might be "Real-World Plausible"
  2、direct contradictio
  • States the exact opposite
  • Paradoxically attractive, however has one contrast or switchback in the trail
  3、 Mix-up
  • Scrambles together disparate content
  • Tries to trap the students who simply matches language, not meaning.
  4 One Word Wrong
  • Just one word (or maybe 2) is incorrect. Include extreme words
  • More prevalent in General questions
  5 True but Irrelevant
  • True according to the passage, but does not answer the given question.
  • May be too narrow or simply unrelated
ASP's qustion types:
(1) strengthen the conclusion
  • fix a weakness of the conclusion
  • introduce additional supporting evidence
   wrong answer choices types
  • no tie to the conclusion: may be support for the premises or "real-world plausible"
  • wrong direction: weaken the conclusion
(2) weaken the conclusion
   wrong answer choices types
  • no tie to the conclusion
  • wrong direction
(3) analyze the argument structure
  • the statement in boldface is the author's CONCLUSION
  • the statement in boldface is a premise that SUPPORTS the author's conclusion.
  • the statement in boldface is a premise that WEAKENS the author's conclusion.
(4) draw a conclusion
   wrong answer choices types
  • out of scope(not explicitly presented in the argument&"real-world plausible")
  • wrong direction
(5)resolve a paradox
  wrong answer choices types
  • not atually address the discrepancy
  • wrong direction
