What to do
Output
One evidence-and-scope explanation
Steps
- Compare the question with the complete evidence, reject the tempting mismatch, and note the precision rule.
Distinguish exact evidence from a tempting partial match or overstatement.
Precision rule
A shared keyword is not enough. Check the whole claim: speaker or writer, time, amount, condition, certainty and required answer form.
This week, use The Six-Week Study Routine Trial to practise full-meaning matching.
Common mistakes to avoid
-
Mistake: Using a generic strategy without applying it to the named source.
-
Mistake: Making a broader claim than the evidence supports.
Check your work
- The evidence and answer have the same scope.
- The explanation identifies why a distractor fails.
