Kaplan Content Review 3

Question 1

Which Kaplan test-taking principle states that you should invest more time on questions you are more likely to get right?

Accepted Answer

Triage

Answer

Kaplan's Triage principle directs you to categorize questions as 'easy,' 'medium,' or 'hard' and tackle easier ones first to maximize points.

Question 2

On the GRE Verbal section, Kaplan recommends treating Text Completion blanks by first doing what?

Accepted Answer

Predicting your own word for the blank before looking at choices

Answer

Predicting your own word before reading choices prevents the answer options from biasing your interpretation of the sentence.

Question 3

Kaplan's GMAT Critical Reasoning method asks you to identify the 'conclusion,' 'evidence,' and what third element of an argument?

Accepted Answer

Assumption

Answer

The assumption is the unstated premise that links the evidence to the conclusion, and identifying it is central to most CR question types.

Question 4

In Kaplan's approach to SAT Evidence-Based Reading, 'Command of Evidence' questions ask you to do what?

Accepted Answer

Select the quote that best supports your previous answer

Answer

Command of Evidence questions pair with the preceding question and ask you to cite the specific lines that justify your answer.

Question 5

Kaplan's strategy for ACT English 'NO CHANGE' answer choices recommends treating them how?

Accepted Answer

Consider NO CHANGE a legitimate correct answer roughly 25% of the time

Answer

NO CHANGE is a correct answer about one-quarter of the time, so it should be evaluated on the same merit as any other choice.
