Answer Explanations:
Question 2:
Pay close attention to the words, "must," "may", and "cannot" in the answer choices. Eliminate the choices you know are incorrect or only partly correct. Using the diagram, angle 6 is a right angle, so eliminate choice "C". Also, eliminate choice "D" because the words, "must," "may", and "cannot" from the first three options cover all conditions. From here, guess between "A" and "B" or apply your knowledge of geometry theorems to select the correct answer "A".
Question 3:
Circle the word "EXCEPT." Three of the answers will be correct, so be careful not to select the first answer that looks right, you are looking for a wrong answer. If you are not sure of the formula or units for density, look for the answer choice that is different from the others. In this case, "mL," "L," and "cc" are all units for volume, but "cm" is a unit for length. Select answer "D" because it is different from the other choices.
Question 4:
Circle the phrase, "most correct," it implies there is more than one correct answer so beware of selecting the first answer that seems correct. Based on the answer choices, there are two decisions you need to make, whether the eclipse would be lunar or solar and whether the eclipse will be seen or may be seen. Even if you can only decide on one of those two factors, you can then eliminate two choices and guess.
Question 5:
Eliminate choice "D" as it is the least like the other three choices since it compares the sample to the original rock and not the other sample. From here you will need to use your understanding of density to select the correct answer.
Question 6:
Be on the look out for common errors. Do a quick logic check or estimation. If you increase the size of something, it gets larger, so as a percentage the answer must be greater than 100%. Cross off choices "A" and "B". A common error would be adding 50 and 25 to get 75, so even if you are not sure how to do the math, cross off choice "C" and select "D."
