Analyzing Sample Questions

Understanding Question Styles

SAT Subject Test questions ranged from straightforward recall to higher-order thinking. Analyzing sample questions helped students recognize patterns and common traps.

Techniques

  • Break Down Each Question: Identify what the question is really asking.
  • Eliminate Wrong Answers: Narrowing choices increased your odds, even if you had to guess.
  • Watch for Tricky Wording: Words like "except," "not," or "least" could change the entire meaning.

Applying This Skill

Practicing with real or sample questions trained your brain to spot the best answers quickly.

Examples

  • Spotting keywords in a biology question to zero in on the correct answer.

  • Using process of elimination to pick the most logical choice in a literature passage.

In a Nutshell

Analyzing sample questions builds familiarity and test-taking confidence.
