1 00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:00,830 Okay. 2 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,500 Thank you, everybody, for joining me today for this live class. 3 00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:10,710 This live class, as stated in the announcement, is covering the reading section. 4 00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:12,290 Question type of true. 5 00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,670 False given also. 6 00:00:14,670 --> 00:00:16,080 Yes, no, not given. 7 00:00:16,590 --> 00:00:20,340 And that is what will be specifically covered today. 8 00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:23,940 As you know, we have one live class per month. 9 00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:32,580 And again, in that live class, I normally cover a specific topic or subject that students might be 10 00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:33,600 struggling with. 11 00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:41,880 And I can say with certainty that the true false not giving question is one of those question types 12 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,490 that students really have a problem with. 13 00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:54,030 So my hope today is to go through this in a way that makes it very plain for you in terms of how to 14 00:00:54,030 --> 00:01:03,090 manage this question in a very easy way so that your your answer accuracy rate goes up tremendously. 15 00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:10,800 If you have any questions during this live class, you can ask the question in the chat box. 16 00:01:11,730 --> 00:01:14,970 There won't be any other live microphones and a live class. 17 00:01:14,970 --> 00:01:24,750 I don't do that because I'm recording this live class, and if the recording has the proper sound quality, 18 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,950 it can be uploaded into the Udemy course so somebody can watch it again later on. 19 00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:36,930 Or if somebody has to leave the live class and they want to finish it, they can watch it later on. 20 00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:43,050 And if I have your background microphones on, it will destroy that possibility. 21 00:01:43,410 --> 00:01:47,010 So let's go ahead and get into the true, false net giving question. 22 00:01:49,790 --> 00:01:52,250 So first question I have. 23 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,130 Why do students have difficulty with the. 24 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,020 Yes, no, not giving question. 25 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,500 You can put a response in the chat box to this. 26 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,930 If you're if you're a student that's having trouble with the. 27 00:02:05,930 --> 00:02:13,790 Yes, no, not given question, go ahead and and type in the chat box and explain what you think is 28 00:02:13,790 --> 00:02:17,060 your difficulty or your problem with the question type. 29 00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:26,240 Or if you just have some idea of why students in general have difficulty with a yes no not given question. 30 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:35,770 I'll give you 30 seconds, 45 seconds to respond in the chat box with whatever your difficulty is, 31 00:02:35,770 --> 00:02:40,000 whatever your challenge is, because today is the day. 32 00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:48,090 That you can have your specific challenge or problem addressed in a live session. 33 00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:52,350 So we do have some responses filtering in right now. 34 00:02:53,970 --> 00:02:56,430 Let's have a look at what some people are saying. 35 00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:05,700 Bina just say it is oh no one not giving a very confusing OC. 36 00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:08,080 Yeah being a that is definitely part of it. 37 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:14,500 Also no one not giving a lot of students are confused by knowing not given and being a part of. 38 00:03:14,510 --> 00:03:19,150 My hope is that after today you won't be confused anymore. 39 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,870 Mariam says they can't understand or find the synonym of paraphrase language. 40 00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:31,570 I'm going to assume that, Mariam, you're talking about when scanning or trying to scan and find a 41 00:03:31,570 --> 00:03:32,830 matching sentence. 42 00:03:32,830 --> 00:03:34,060 That is true. 43 00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:36,160 That can be difficult. 44 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,160 And I am going to address that today also. 45 00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:43,490 Because of the ambiguity and the questions. 46 00:03:45,010 --> 00:03:45,710 Um. 47 00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:50,160 There's no real ambiguity in the question. 48 00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:55,640 I'll have to I'll think about that in terms of what you mean by it. 49 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,940 Traps in the passage. 50 00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:02,020 No. 51 00:04:02,020 --> 00:04:04,360 There are no traps in the passage. 52 00:04:04,930 --> 00:04:08,950 There's trap language or wrong language. 53 00:04:08,950 --> 00:04:10,120 That's in the question. 54 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,030 But there's no trap in the passage. 55 00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:16,590 See next one. 56 00:04:19,170 --> 00:04:22,260 And if I mispronounce any of your names today, please forgive me. 57 00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:22,890 I'm just going to say. 58 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,670 Vincent. 59 00:04:23,970 --> 00:04:29,400 Vincent says overthinking or confusing the answer choices. 60 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,020 Overthinking is a big problem. 61 00:04:31,850 --> 00:04:32,890 I agree, Vincent. 62 00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:35,330 Overthinking is a big problem. 63 00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:41,930 A lot of students try to be too smart, and they think that they have to come up with the answer. 64 00:04:46,340 --> 00:04:51,020 Some statements can be implicitly inferred, making it ambiguous. 65 00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:52,190 No, it's not. 66 00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:53,150 It's not. 67 00:04:53,150 --> 00:04:54,320 That's a problem. 68 00:04:54,470 --> 00:05:00,110 When you all start inferring or thinking that you need to make an inference, you know, to try to fill 69 00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:01,190 in missing blanks. 70 00:05:01,190 --> 00:05:03,010 That's where you're messing up, right? 71 00:05:03,020 --> 00:05:04,010 That's a problem. 72 00:05:07,230 --> 00:05:07,620 Well. 73 00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:09,390 Anything else? 74 00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:17,160 So when I put a whole paragraph in there, I can't read that right now. 75 00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:18,930 No one not giving. 76 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,140 Okay, everybody, let's stop putting things in the box, please. 77 00:05:25,770 --> 00:05:28,620 The passage contradicts everything in the question. 78 00:05:29,650 --> 00:05:30,370 Yeah. 79 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,270 I see that a lot of you have a lot of confusion. 80 00:05:35,970 --> 00:05:36,350 Right. 81 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,040 I see a lot of you have a lot of confusion. 82 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,020 Please, everybody, if you have a video on, turn your video off. 83 00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:45,920 Look, I'm not going to say. 84 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:48,110 I'm going to I'm not going to repeat that. 85 00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:52,310 If if you keep showing your video, what I'm going to I'm going to, like, eliminate you from the class. 86 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,900 And I don't want to do that. 87 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:55,660 All right. 88 00:05:55,660 --> 00:06:02,830 So a lot of you were able to identify some of the difficulty in terms of the. 89 00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:04,390 Yes, no, not giving question. 90 00:06:05,710 --> 00:06:06,040 Right. 91 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,430 So for for right now, please stop putting things in the box. 92 00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:13,270 Right. 93 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:21,340 So these are some of the reasons why students have difficulty and some of you are able to identify this. 94 00:06:22,210 --> 00:06:24,970 Searching for missing information not given. 95 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:33,400 A lot of students struggle with the option of not giving because for most of you in your educational 96 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,990 life, you've come across true and false or yes and no. 97 00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:39,400 You all know that. 98 00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:43,240 But very few have come across having to deal with, not given. 99 00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:47,230 You're not familiar with what not given means. 100 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:55,420 And sometimes you all confuse, you know, is something not given in the passage or something, not 101 00:06:55,420 --> 00:07:03,310 given the question, and that you simply have to understand that it's a one way situation. 102 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,250 You're looking for what's not given in the question, not what's not given in the you know, what's 103 00:07:09,250 --> 00:07:10,600 not given in the passage. 104 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,380 This is not you know, you're not looking at it both ways. 105 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,680 Another big mistake are making assumptions. 106 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,240 Making an inference. 107 00:07:19,810 --> 00:07:21,850 Connections that don't exist. 108 00:07:22,570 --> 00:07:24,220 Trying to apply common sense. 109 00:07:24,220 --> 00:07:26,200 Believe it or not, that's a big problem. 110 00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:29,950 Trying to apply common sense people thinking that. 111 00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:33,460 And this is where we deal with overthinking sometimes. 112 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:42,960 Sometimes students tried to look at the whole passage sentence and the whole question language, all 113 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,590 the language. 114 00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:50,700 And they completely that that's that's has that that is not the strategy that the strategy that is taught 115 00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:51,750 in this course. 116 00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:54,750 And that's where it gets into overthinking. 117 00:07:55,020 --> 00:08:01,830 And that really is because you lack strategy or lack the ability to apply strategy properly. 118 00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:06,270 Thinking that you need to come up with an answer is not about you. 119 00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:09,720 It's about comparing the language, right? 120 00:08:09,810 --> 00:08:11,340 It's not about what you think. 121 00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:18,600 A big problem also is deals with if you have a lack of English skill and when you have a lack of English 122 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,520 skill, a lot of times that that's what ends up happening with. 123 00:08:24,090 --> 00:08:29,760 That's what ends up causing overreading or overthinking is a lack of English skill because you can't 124 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,070 understand the context now in terms of dealing with false and not given. 125 00:08:36,180 --> 00:08:44,160 You can look at this question and passage here, and this is a good example of how students will confuse 126 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,720 false and not given. 127 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:52,110 So right here it says the question right, then strike out, put the arrow here. 128 00:08:52,110 --> 00:09:00,560 The question says South America is the only country where the red matcha variety is located. 129 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:09,750 Then the passage says Matcha has been located in West Africa and even in more abundance in South Asia. 130 00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:16,620 So is this answer false or is this answer not given? 131 00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:18,810 Right. 132 00:09:18,810 --> 00:09:20,880 Well, this had to be false or not given. 133 00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:27,150 And I could tell you right now it's going to students are going to give. 134 00:09:27,330 --> 00:09:28,140 I'm going to see. 135 00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:29,580 All right. 136 00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:30,330 Here we go. 137 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,010 This is what I'm talking about here. 138 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:32,910 False. 139 00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:33,660 False. 140 00:09:33,690 --> 00:09:34,440 Not giving. 141 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,100 Not giving. 142 00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:35,640 False. 143 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:36,360 Not giving. 144 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,350 Not giving. 145 00:09:37,380 --> 00:09:38,280 False. 146 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,440 You all see that? 147 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,830 You see it, you see the problems, right? 148 00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:47,640 All right, please stop. 149 00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:48,810 All right, stop, please. 150 00:09:48,810 --> 00:09:50,220 So I can address this. 151 00:09:51,150 --> 00:09:51,720 Stop, please. 152 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,350 Like an address. 153 00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:55,700 Okay. 154 00:09:55,930 --> 00:09:56,770 So. 155 00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:00,320 50% of you are wrong. 156 00:10:03,220 --> 00:10:03,760 Right. 157 00:10:04,210 --> 00:10:05,680 Do not put. 158 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,440 Who is this? 159 00:10:08,050 --> 00:10:08,910 Jannati. 160 00:10:12,110 --> 00:10:12,490 Do not. 161 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,640 Do not. 162 00:10:13,850 --> 00:10:15,710 I said very clearly. 163 00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:20,360 Do not put any links or anything like that in my course. 164 00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:22,220 Do not do that. 165 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:30,610 All right. 166 00:10:32,530 --> 00:10:33,100 Don't. 167 00:10:33,250 --> 00:10:35,380 I'll repeat it again before I address the question. 168 00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:38,980 That chat box is for questions only. 169 00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:46,100 Not for you putting links in there or anything else or cross communication in a chat box. 170 00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:50,390 If I see it again, whoever does it, I'm putting you out the class, period. 171 00:10:51,170 --> 00:10:51,740 All right. 172 00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:56,420 So in terms of false and not giving the correct answer here is not given. 173 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,920 Right is not given. 174 00:11:00,610 --> 00:11:07,090 When you look at the question, right, Red Mesa is the only country or South America is the only country 175 00:11:07,090 --> 00:11:09,010 where red matcha variety is located. 176 00:11:10,030 --> 00:11:16,660 When you look at the question here, when you look at this question here, what is the language? 177 00:11:17,290 --> 00:11:18,800 And this is what helps. 178 00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:25,780 What is the language that will determine if something is true or false or not given in the question? 179 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,750 I'm not talking about the key words. 180 00:11:30,260 --> 00:11:32,810 The key words will be South America and red matcha. 181 00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:36,230 Those will be the key words to scan for the right the right sentence. 182 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,380 What is the language in the question? 183 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,790 What is the language in the question? 184 00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:48,690 I'm not asking I'm not asking for an explanation of the answer. 185 00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:51,420 That's not what I'm asking for. 186 00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:52,550 Yeah. 187 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,640 Thank you, Sharif. 188 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,630 Right. 189 00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,510 The language and the question that the determines if something's going to be true or false or not given 190 00:12:00,510 --> 00:12:02,370 is the only country. 191 00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:04,380 The only country. 192 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,180 Right. 193 00:12:06,190 --> 00:12:08,110 Is it the only country where you find red? 194 00:12:08,380 --> 00:12:09,970 Is that the only country? 195 00:12:11,390 --> 00:12:12,200 Now. 196 00:12:12,950 --> 00:12:19,160 When you look at the passage sentence, do you see anything? 197 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,020 Do you see anything that says it's the only country? 198 00:12:26,350 --> 00:12:26,740 Right. 199 00:12:26,740 --> 00:12:28,480 You can't confirm that. 200 00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:31,570 The passage doesn't contradict that. 201 00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:33,730 It doesn't confirm it. 202 00:12:34,780 --> 00:12:35,920 It is missing. 203 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,680 That part is missing. 204 00:12:40,540 --> 00:12:44,140 We don't know if it's the only country. 205 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,650 Right. 206 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,360 We don't know that. 207 00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:49,830 Now. 208 00:12:49,830 --> 00:12:51,840 It's not because South America is missing. 209 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:53,720 Right. 210 00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:55,040 All right. 211 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,330 Good piece, because that also but also the answer is not given. 212 00:13:00,230 --> 00:13:01,190 The answer is not given. 213 00:13:01,190 --> 00:13:04,760 Also, somebody can make the argument in terms of South America is missing also. 214 00:13:05,730 --> 00:13:05,810 Right. 215 00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:06,800 We don't know. 216 00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:09,090 Right. 217 00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:10,990 We don't know. 218 00:13:11,870 --> 00:13:17,180 So a lot of students mess up and I'm not sure why somebody would choose false. 219 00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:19,010 I'm not clear about that. 220 00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:19,880 I don't know. 221 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,710 I can't I can't tell you why. 222 00:13:23,630 --> 00:13:24,710 I can't tell you why. 223 00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:28,220 The answer's not because it's not it's not contradicted. 224 00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:37,260 Right for this for this answer to be false, it would have to say red matcha is found in West Africa. 225 00:13:39,740 --> 00:13:40,270 Right. 226 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,990 That's the only way. 227 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,600 This answer can be false. 228 00:13:46,180 --> 00:13:52,810 Is if it says red matches found in West Africa or red matches also found in South South Asia. 229 00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:56,040 That's the only way the answer can be false. 230 00:13:56,050 --> 00:13:57,580 It has to be a contradiction. 231 00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:58,540 Right. 232 00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:02,770 So that's that's something that you want to be clear on. 233 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,060 Stop overthinking it and just apply the strategy as it's given. 234 00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:14,820 So something of what I mentioned very quickly in terms of just not giving versus true or false, not 235 00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:15,330 given. 236 00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:17,700 These are slightly different. 237 00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:19,930 In terms of meaning. 238 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,480 There is no difference in strategy. 239 00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:25,510 There is no difference in strategy at all. 240 00:14:26,450 --> 00:14:27,960 If if something is yes. 241 00:14:27,970 --> 00:14:29,050 No, not given. 242 00:14:29,650 --> 00:14:32,830 You're dealing with the opinion, view or belief of the writer. 243 00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:44,760 You're trying to verify if the writers belief statement or opinion is something that is is is. 244 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,600 Yes, yes. 245 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,770 You can agree with it. 246 00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:51,750 No, no, the passage doesn't agree with it or the passage doesn't give any information about. 247 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,900 So, yes, no, not giving is dealing with opinions. 248 00:14:55,530 --> 00:14:59,940 If you're dealing with true, false, not given here, you're dealing with factual information about 249 00:14:59,940 --> 00:15:00,510 a topic. 250 00:15:01,590 --> 00:15:09,120 And you really are asking yourself, are is this fact true, false or not given in the passage? 251 00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:13,520 Now, this might be helpful when you're thinking about it. 252 00:15:14,390 --> 00:15:19,640 This might be helpful when you're thinking about it in terms of scanning. 253 00:15:20,610 --> 00:15:26,310 If something of a question is yes no, not given your scanning for the authors opinions, views or beliefs. 254 00:15:26,970 --> 00:15:32,130 If an answer is true, false or not given, then you're scanning for statements that are factual in 255 00:15:32,130 --> 00:15:32,790 nature. 256 00:15:33,210 --> 00:15:38,700 And understanding that difference then can can help maybe in that respect. 257 00:15:39,420 --> 00:15:42,960 But in terms of strategy, there is no difference in strategy. 258 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,390 There is no difference in application of strategy. 259 00:15:45,870 --> 00:15:53,460 And that's why very often you'll see me treated the same in terms of saying yes, no, not given. 260 00:16:00,010 --> 00:16:01,390 And Nabila. 261 00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:04,000 Your response? 262 00:16:04,090 --> 00:16:07,670 Wouldn't this still be ambiguous as much as a superset of Red Monster? 263 00:16:07,690 --> 00:16:09,760 That's what's called overthinking the Billa. 264 00:16:10,940 --> 00:16:14,380 That's that's a you are giving a perfect example of overthinking. 265 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,030 I don't need you to be that smart. 266 00:16:18,650 --> 00:16:19,250 Right. 267 00:16:19,460 --> 00:16:22,700 Just is the language comparison. 268 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:24,560 There is the language comparison. 269 00:16:25,710 --> 00:16:26,430 Okay. 270 00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:29,020 The bill is on here talking about super classes. 271 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,120 That's not. 272 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,560 You're overthinking it. 273 00:16:32,770 --> 00:16:33,210 Okay. 274 00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:34,450 You're overthinking it. 275 00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:36,830 All right. 276 00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:38,600 So that's the difference between. 277 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:38,780 Yes. 278 00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:44,780 No, not giving true false not giving slight difference and only meaningful if we're talking about something 279 00:16:44,780 --> 00:16:45,980 in terms of scanning. 280 00:16:47,620 --> 00:16:51,010 Some helpful points to remember for us, no doubt given question. 281 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,770 The questions go in order. 282 00:16:55,260 --> 00:16:57,000 After number one, you'll find number two. 283 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,580 After number two, you'll find number three. 284 00:16:58,590 --> 00:17:02,310 After number three, you'll find number four, so forth and so on. 285 00:17:03,510 --> 00:17:05,700 With a not given question. 286 00:17:06,180 --> 00:17:13,470 Sometimes you'll have you'll find a sentence that has that has relevant information to the question. 287 00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:20,430 Sometimes they'll be just a complete absence of any information on the on on the not giving question. 288 00:17:22,170 --> 00:17:24,730 There's going to be one of each type in the set. 289 00:17:24,750 --> 00:17:27,300 There's going to be at least one true. 290 00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:28,590 At least one false. 291 00:17:28,590 --> 00:17:30,300 At least one not given. 292 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,600 So if you have five questions, there's going to be at least one of each. 293 00:17:38,430 --> 00:17:39,930 We talked about this already. 294 00:17:39,930 --> 00:17:41,100 Don't overread. 295 00:17:41,370 --> 00:17:45,510 And when I'm talking about overread here, I'm not really talking about overthinking. 296 00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:50,390 I'm talking about students who decide, well, I'm just going to read the whole paragraph. 297 00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:56,040 And I'm just going to read the whole paragraph and digest all this information and come up with what 298 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,420 I think is the answer. 299 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,500 And that is why you end up getting those answers wrong most of the time. 300 00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:08,100 Is overeating taking into information, too much information instead of doing a language comparison, 301 00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:17,610 meaning strangers be aware of language that changes meaning such as every all. 302 00:18:17,610 --> 00:18:17,970 Some. 303 00:18:17,970 --> 00:18:18,900 Most always. 304 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:19,380 Often. 305 00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:19,770 A few. 306 00:18:19,770 --> 00:18:20,760 Occasionally. 307 00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:24,500 Being aware of the twist language in the question. 308 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,440 This is probably the most important thing that I'm going to end up discussing today or helping you to 309 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,270 be able to identify today is the what I call the twist language. 310 00:18:35,870 --> 00:18:41,630 And what I mean by this, there is there's always language in the question. 311 00:18:42,590 --> 00:18:51,440 There's always language in the question that a test designer is going to use to twist it towards true. 312 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,190 Twist it towards false or twisted towards that given. 313 00:18:56,330 --> 00:19:04,400 If you're able to identify what that language is, it makes the answering process to be so much easier. 314 00:19:05,450 --> 00:19:13,100 And then the final thing I'll talk about in terms of a helpful point to remember is question and answer 315 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:13,940 creation. 316 00:19:15,390 --> 00:19:22,350 Understand that a question can come out of two sentences. 317 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,730 And what I mean by that is that sometimes and this is something they're doing a lot more now than they 318 00:19:28,730 --> 00:19:37,040 used to do in the past, where they may take one or two words from one sentence and then they might 319 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,430 take two or three words from the next sentence. 320 00:19:41,170 --> 00:19:46,120 And then they use that information to combine into one question. 321 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:56,710 And so when you're trying to find an answer, you might find the question language in one sentence and 322 00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:59,590 then find the answer language and the next sentence. 323 00:19:59,590 --> 00:20:03,850 So you want to be aware of that as a as a possibility.
