Read and Understand the Question first

Choose YOUR Answer and Eliminate other incorrect
Answers

2. Multiple Choice, Choose Multiple Answers

Has Negative Marking

Can have 2 or 3 correct options - Choose wisely and
don't push yourself

Read Question and Understand

Read Passage with Focus and Understand
Eliminate Answers and Choose the right options
Choose one answer that you are 1000% sure.
Choose the second answer only when you are 2000%
sure else leave it.
Choose third correct answer only when you are
10000000000% sure.
First correct answer will yield you 1 point
but second wrong answer will take that away. It's better
to earn than to give that away. Remember getting
emotional in exam can cost you an attempt.

3. Re-order Paragraphs

Search for Heading/Topic Sentence that stands alone

Check Proper Nouns-Common nouns-Pronoun-Articles
Usage-Time Phrases order to re-order the sentences.
Proper Nouns - Atlantic Ocean, Walt Disney, etc

Pronoun - He, She, They, Them, etc
Articles Usage - a, an, the. "The" refers to a noun already
introduced earlier
Time Phrases - Passive voice refers back to another
sentence
Other Phrases - However, Moreover, Although, Also, etc

Use the following strategy:

Line 1: Subject is followed by an object.
Line 2: Object of line 1 becomes the subject of line 2 and
is followed by an object.
Line 3: Object of line 2 becomes the subject of line 3 and
is followed by an object and so on.

This is a full proof strategy and will help you re-order

paragraphs.
