SATA questions :/

Hello :)

I just passed repro and now on to LifeSpan 1. A major concern of mine is the select all that apply questions. I've never been good at these types of questions, but I believe it's contributing to my overall exam score. I've noticed on my last exam that I had at least 10 +... Does anyone have any advice besides doing multiple practice questions?

What I did to tackle these types of questions was to eliminate those that I new without a doubt did NOT apply. For the remaining questions, I would really think about everything that goes on with the given response to see how/if it ties in with the question that is being asked. If I didn't have any that I would eliminate, I would select them all as valid answers.

Worked for me. But you have to know what's going on in the scenario in order to know what word or phrase validates or invalidates the option as a whole.

Treat each potential answer as true/false, it really helps.

Makes sense. Thanks, Pixie.

Thanks for the insight. I think I also need to be confident in the answers I select. The last part of your first paragraph is what I struggle with the most and then I change my answers.
