Key Takeaways
- If you are faced with a multiple choice question with numerical answers and feel like you should be setting up an equation you can consider backsolving
- Select one of the middle answers (unless it’s a minimum or maximum question) and check it for consistency with the question
- If you recognize that you need a larger or smaller answer then a couple of answer choices can be eliminated at once
- This is essentially the process you would use to double check your answer, helping you to get the answer in the first place
