The problem with that is for tests like the SAT or PSAT, it is nearly impossible to "study". Also, most of the times, the test will include topics you have not covered in class so it's not a bad idea to create a guessing strategy for these types of assessments.
Teacher: "Explain why you think that's the answer" Me: "My brain sent a signal to my hand saying to circle D, so I did and I just *felt* that it was right"
I got a 28 on my ACT without studying which isnt stellar but i think almost all people fall in the 23-26 range so maybe my advice is decent. The material will always be different so being a prepared, strategic, and unanxious test taker will always go further on a test about 5 different subjects because your brain is constantly switching gears during an ACT/SAT so you can never really get into the flow state for any of the subjects. Also youre against the clock so you cant think for too long, always skip a question that doesnt make sense on the 2nd read. And you can make up score in weak areas, i got a 36 on ACT reading which is perfect but like a 23 on science lol, but the idea is focus hard on the subjects youre good at, and regain mental stamina during subjects that are throwaway to you.
Using the strategy provided in the video I can determine that the majority of the answers are numbers so I can eliminate c and d but the majority of the answers are also words so I can eliminate b and e leaving the answer to be none other than A. Eight
The answer would be C, since A and B are the same and D implies C would be an answer as well, then it would contradict the answer. Therefore, C is the only acceptable answer.
@@BrinnaOfficial I agree. Choosing A would imply that B is wrong, and choosing B would imply that A is wrong, which would contradict itself. Choosing D implies that C is right which would again contradict itself. So, yeah, I agree with you.

Turned out it was all A after all and everyone who answered a few questions not A immediately knew they got those answers wrong

@@WhenAllTheWarmthLeavesUs English is my second language, I don't get the difference between the two. Can you clarify? (Sorry for ruining it if this is a joke.)
Most standardized tests don't actually test knowledge. They really test one specific thing: how good you are at taking tests. I was a good test taker because instead of trying to figure out the answer, I figured out the question. Based on the way they phrase their question, you can usually get a pretty good idea of the type of answer they're looking for. Another nice trick is for questions like "Which of these statements is true?" The way this question is written implies that the other statements have to be false. So if you see two statements that are similar, or one implies the other, they can't both be true, so they must be false. Really you should treat these kinds of tests like a challenge to see how far you can get without having to remember a single relevant fact. Professional SAT prep classes will make you do vocabulary problems with fake, made-up words, to force you to use context clues and make an informed guess. You might think this all just sounds like they're just teaching kids to bullshit. Yup, they are! And people have mixed feelings about that, which is why many colleges are phasing out standardized testing requirements.
I agree with you on most of that and did that too. All the way up until Calc 2+ and Physics. Couldn't bullshit my way through the four word problems my physics teacher gave me

@@lemonscentedgames3641 SAT scores and GPA are the two factors most correlated with college success, by far. They're getting rid of them for three reasons: 1. Lower SAT scores in marginalized areas reveals the ludicrously unequitable education system in the US and it's easier to just ignore the problem than to solve it 2. The pandemic made it impossible for a lot of people to take the SAT a few years ago, and many schools aren't comfortable switching up on students with short notice 3.

True true…I mean they can’t be so difficult such that someone who hasn’t taken a higher level course can’t figure it out…but not too easy that anyone with half a brain can figure out. Essentially if you are decently versed in basic math…and approach the questions like a puzzle…most of the math questions can be easily/quickly solved. It’s more about HOW you think and approach a question…and as long as you solve it correctly, you’re in the clear.

The Fact that it's SAT math and he's showing the trick on a basic question makes it a little awkward since the problem is quite average(for students, no offense)so he's kinda ruling out those options which don't match with his answer by giving any reason..... 3.

On the very first day of an AP History class I had in high school, the teacher gave us a quiz with questions like this (some related to history topics we'd never talk about in class -- some extremely confusing math questions, some science, etc). He told us to read the instructions carefully before starting (all the instructions told us to skip to the next section over and over til you got to the end of the quiz). At the end of the quiz, the final line said to not answer any of the preceding questions, and this quiz was only to test who read and followed the instructions. I am *horrible* at math, and was on the verge of tears at thought of failing a quiz my first day in class before reading those instructions. xD

I remember seeing something like this on a show called "Brain Games", then some time after that, one of my English teachers (I think they were English, Literature, something like that) also gave out an altered, but similar version of that test for extra credit. I IMMEDIATELY knew the catch, so I just zipped my lips and said nothing while around 7 of the 15-20 students in the class *did* do the instructions one by one. It apparently had steps like drawing a star in the top left of the paper, counting from 10 to 0, or poking holes on the right side of the paper. Of course, this was YEARS ago at this point, so some details might've been off.

As a college student, that was my most memorable memory. I am not even supposed to be proud of it, but still that was the most satisfying moment ever.
If you're interested in finding the real solution to this question, here's how to solve it. a x a x a = a + a + a a^3 = 3a (a^3)/a = 3 a^2 = 3 a = -sqrt(3) and sqrt(3) But since only sqrt(3) is in the choices and sqrt(3) is letter B, then letter B is the answer.

Yeah but realistically you can just sub in numbers. E.g 3x3x3=3+3+3 big dif therefore lower then 3. That’s already gotten it down to 2 choices
Instead of bring 3a into LHS and then taking 3 back to RHS we can do this simply:-
a^3 = 3a
Dividing both sides by a
a^2 = 3
a = ±√3
a×a×a=a+a+a
Therefore a^3=3a
Therefore a^2=3 ( a could be 0 but there is no such option. )

This is absolutely true. The majority of my mistakes on the math SAT were just small mistakes I made near the end.

It changes so frequently and there is literally a mountain of various textbooks and workbooks that you have to page through anyway. You're going to end up guessing regardless of how well you prepare.

The problem with that is for tests like the SAT or PSAT, it is nearly impossible to "study". Also, most of the times, the test will include topics you have not covered in class so it's not a bad idea to create a guessing strategy for these types of assessments.
Having a plan B is always good instead of only relying on the "best" plan

The correct way
I got a 28 on my ACT without studying which isnt stellar but i think almost all people fall in the 23-26 range so maybe my advice is decent. The material will always be different so being a prepared, strategic, and unanxious test taker will always go further on a test about 5 different subjects because your brain is constantly switching gears during an ACT/SAT so you can never really get into the flow state for any of the subjects. Also youre against the clock so you cant think for too long, always skip a question that doesnt make sense on the 2nd read. And you can make up score in weak areas, i got a 36 on ACT reading which is perfect but like a 23 on science lol, but the idea is focus hard on the subjects youre good at, and regain mental stamina during subjects that are throwaway to you.
dude thats stellar. and you definitely studied or did well in your other tests throughout high school

Meanwhile my MCQs options:

Using the strategy provided in the video I can determine that the majority of the answers are numbers so I can eliminate c and d but the majority of the answers are also words so I can eliminate b and e leaving the answer to be none other than A. Eight
XDXDXD killed it
The answer would be C, since A and B are the same and D implies C would be an answer as well, then it would contradict the answer. Therefore, C is the only acceptable answer.
The answer is B because all the others contain the letter E.
@@BrinnaOfficial I agree. Choosing A would imply that B is wrong, and choosing B would imply that A is wrong, which would contradict itself. Choosing D implies that C is right which would again contradict itself. So, yeah, I agree with you.

You can imagine the chaos that ensured once the test was over, but it was so messed up because you couldn’t actually guess all A just in case she decided to throw a few curveballs in there. Turned out it was all A after all and everyone who answered a few questions not A immediately knew they got those answers wrong

Nevaeh Swanner that's what I USED to do😂😂😂
Most standardized tests don't actually test knowledge. They really test one specific thing: how good you are at taking tests. I was a good test taker because instead of trying to figure out the answer, I figured out the question. Based on the way they phrase their question, you can usually get a pretty good idea of the type of answer they're looking for.
Another nice trick is for questions like "Which of these statements is true?" The way this question is written implies that the other statements have to be false. So if you see two statements that are similar, or one implies the other, they can't both be true, so they must be false.
Really you should treat these kinds of tests like a challenge to see how far you can get without having to remember a single relevant fact. Professional SAT prep classes will make you do vocabulary problems with fake, made-up words, to force you to use context clues and make an informed guess.
You might think this all just sounds like they're just teaching kids to bullshit. Yup, they are! And people have mixed feelings about that, which is why many colleges are phasing out standardized testing requirements.
I agree with you on most of that and did that too. All the way up until Calc 2+ and Physics. Couldn't bullshit my way through the four word problems my physics teacher gave me

@@lemonscentedgames3641 SAT scores and GPA are the two factors most correlated with college success, by far. They're getting rid of them for three reasons:
1. Lower SAT scores in marginalized areas reveals the ludicrously unequitable education system in the US and it's easier to just ignore the problem than to solve it
2. The pandemic made it impossible for a lot of people to take the SAT a few years ago, and many schools aren't comfortable switching up on students with short notice
3. College Board is terrible and no one likes working with them
@@lemonscentedgames3641 How are they "glorified IQ tests?" If anything, many tests are mostly memory tests or recognizing patterns. I got through most subjects by noticing patterns. Even took a few tests on books without reading them and passed lol.
I guess part of IQ tests are pattern recognition, so I guess kinda.. but that isn't something students are necessarily trained for.
True true…I mean they can’t be so difficult such that someone who hasn’t taken a higher level course can’t figure it out…but not too easy that anyone with half a brain can figure out.
Essentially if you are decently versed in basic math…and approach the questions like a puzzle…most of the math questions can be easily/quickly solved. It’s more about HOW you think and approach a question…and as long as you solve it correctly, you’re in the clear.

I’m glad I learned this like, 5 years after taking the SAT with no intention to take it again.
On the very first day of an AP History class I had in high school, the teacher gave us a quiz with questions like this (some related to history topics we'd never talk about in class -- some extremely confusing math questions, some science, etc). He told us to read the instructions carefully before starting (all the instructions told us to skip to the next section over and over til you got to the end of the quiz).
At the end of the quiz, the final line said to not answer any of the preceding questions, and this quiz was only to test who read and followed the instructions. I am *horrible* at math, and was on the verge of tears at thought of failing a quiz my first day in class before reading those instructions. xD
This also happened in my AP US history class. Must be a thing. This quiz even had questions like “stand up and announce to the class that you’re great at following directions” it was pretty funny when you get to the end and realize you didn’t follow the directions at all
I remember seeing something like this on a show called "Brain Games", then some time after that, one of my English teachers (I think they were English, Literature, something like that) also gave out an altered, but similar version of that test for extra credit. I IMMEDIATELY knew the catch, so I just zipped my lips and said nothing while around 7 of the 15-20 students in the class *did* do the instructions one by one. It apparently had steps like drawing a star in the top left of the paper, counting from 10 to 0, or poking holes on the right side of the paper.
Of course, this was YEARS ago at this point, so some details might've been off.
Our math teacher gave us a test like that in high school. None of us fell for it because everyone has seen it before. She looked visibly shaken by it. Like she didn't know how to react to us not falling for the hackneyed trick test. She was just kind if quiet after that. She obviously didn't teach us a lesson.

federico saviano 1% of students get a perfect score and only 5% get above a 1600 how is it stupidly easy
@@GeodesicBruh judging from your "oh yeah yeah" profile picture and your grammar, I could guess you wouldn't get above a 200.

This video is the reason why I passed my thermodynamics exam when I was still a college student. I have zero knowledge/idea, I did not solve anything, never even use my calculator, and I was the first person to pass the paper. I actually already accepted I am going to fail, and I was laughing inside while taking that exam. When we got our papers back, I laughed so hard because I passed. As a college student, that was my most memorable memory. I am not even supposed to be proud of it, but still that was the most satisfying moment ever.
If you're interested in finding the real solution to this question, here's how to solve it.
a x a x a = a + a + a
a^3 = 3a
(a^3)/a = 3
a^2 = 3
a = -sqrt(3) and sqrt(3)
But since only sqrt(3) is in the choices and sqrt(3) is letter B, then letter B is the answer.
Mathman. The strongest mathematician in the world.
Actually a has 3 solutions 0,√3 and -√3. But the question had only √3 as option so yeah.
@@kizyzo1348 yeah you can't just divide by the variable without factoring out a literal number zero as a root. Of course, to do this, you must first verify that the polynomial doesn't have an independent term.
@@roylowe713 multiple choice question so doesn’t really matter. Just be cognizant of the fact that 0 is a solution
@@pythontron8710 factoring is better. a^3 - 3a = 0, then you have a(a^2 - 3) = 0 so obviously it must be 0 or +-sqrt(3)
if “all of the above” is an option on a test and it’s only on one of the questions it’s all of the above 99% of the time
Same with the militarys hippa test
When there's also a "none of the above" option
*Sweats intensely*
ive actually run into exams (not SAT) that trick you and put "all of the above" which end up being wrong. so not 99% more like 50/50
@@blueheart9873 none of the above 99.99 percent is not the right answer all the time. 0.01 percent is when the teacher mistakes it for the right answer.
I love questions with that answer bcuz i only need to check for 2 right answers to know.
The other technique is when you are running out of time use one letter to fill out the rest of the test
Another technique is tick every box
Just did it in my last TOEFL test lol.. It works
@@toxy3580 And when you get the test back the teacher reveals that every wrong answer makes you lose points, so in the end you get a minus grade
@@michael2350
Isn't that kind of info told before the test?
@@GlennPranata It should man, it should.
But sometimes reality is disappointing
As a highschool teacher, I once (accidentally) gave them a matching test in which the correct answers were A->1, B->2, C->3, D->4 and E->5. I had forgotten to mix them up before printing the test. When later they complained, I claimed it was done on purpose. That was the ultimate multiple choice trick for me (ok matching test, but close).
One time my high school history teacher gave us a test where all the answers on a page were B (six or seven B’s in a row) and of course we all got them wrong because we changed our answers
My strategy:
My answer: 68
The Choices: A.54 B.23 C.64 D.98
Me: C is the closest to my answer so I'll go with that
I usually find the smallest number in the question and diving or multiply the final answer and maybe it will be exactly an option out of these 4 💀
God thats like 50/50 for me. I’ll either be right or _completely, wildly_ wrong and the right answer was actually the answer furthest away from mine
@RinChlorine I still do that now 💀
Can accurate
I’ll need to know this in 3.5 years. I’ll save it.

That there are multiple choice answers on a test is just insane to me. I’ve had one multiple choice test in my last 5 years of school.
