Breaking down the Questions...
We all know long word problems = total mental shutdown for most people. BUT, it doesn't have to be that way. Below are two strategies that I want you to use for EVERY problem on the HSA:
Skip the the last sentence FIRST: It is important to make sure you know what the questions is asking. Before reading a long word problem, skip to the last sentence and find the type of answer you need to find. Then, read the whole question. This little tip makes a HUGE difference.
Predict an answer that "Makes Sense": Most questions on the HSA are based on real-world problems. This means the answers should make sense. When you get done solving a problem, take the extra couple seconds to make sure it makes sense with the problem.
Guess & Check! Most of the HSA questions are multiple choice. Using the answers provided, you can sometimes work backwards to figure out an answer to a problem.
