How To Answer A Question Where You Don't Know The Answer
| Education : Exams And Revision This sounds strange: how can you answer a question where you don't know the answer? Well, focus on the word KNOW. You may not know the answer but can still have a good guess. Think of a quiz: often you are not sure of the answer but find the right one. To try to get to an answer when unsure, use this technique: - read the question - re-read the question, highlight the key parts of the question If a gut instinct gives you an answer, write it down. But if still nothing: - write down the TOPIC of the question, e.g. if it is a biology exam and you are being asked about the carbon cycle, then write down: CARBON CYCLE. If you have time, bullet point everything that you DO know about the carbon cycle: e.g. factory emissions putting carbon in the air, vegetation using CO2 and sunlight in photosynthesis. See if this helps trigger an answer or at least an educated guess - often you will find it will. If still nothing comes to you, then take a guess. You may well not be right, but putting no answer at all guarantees you will be wrong. Bottom line: if you have time, have a think around the issue, dig deep in your mind for connected topics, and try to visualise the question.
