Took me 4 times, it should not have!

Everyone, especially instructors always said don't read too much into the question. Well, I say BS. Read the question try to gleen what they are asking, then look at the answer options. I was always in a rush to answer, because I did not want to over think it. STOP, READ, DECIPHER, the LOOK at the options. If I had done that in the first place I would have passed the first, second and third times.

critical thinking is what is most important. You could know it all and if you do not use it to really understand what is being asked you will get it wrong. SLOW DOWN,

PVT, it worked for me. Just make up a cc number, it you passed it will give you the good pop up, if not it will tell you you have a bad cc number. My friend and I did this, I passed, good pop up, she failed, bad cc number imputed.

Good luck to all!

That's pretty close to what I have been posting for quite some time now. Slow down because you have 6 HOURS to answer all the question. Time isn't usually going to be an issue.

Your instructors were 100% correct in saying don't read INTO the question. They were not saying do NOT read the question. You have to read the question and figure out what exactly they are asking. Your instructors were saying don't read into the question as in, don't start asking but what if..and what about that..but this could happen, and what about that...etc. What they meant is take the question for what it is and don't over thing and begin trying to read into it.

Just as CT Pixie stated, there's a difference between over analyzing what is being asked and not fully reading the words on the screen.

I had just about every book out there. I would get down because I would be acing a set of cars or book and then do poorly with another. I suggest pick one and the lacharity book and just work them over. Good luck to all.
