Answer 1

First, this question may get more answers, if posted under "Education & Reference - Standards & Testing" here http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/?link=list&sid=396547121

Second, on any well-written multiple choice test there won't be a best letter to guess. That holds true for the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests.

You should tackle the multiple choice questions one at a time. Read the whole question all the way through without looking at the answers and without jumping to conclusions. If you read too quickly or don't read the whole question, then you might miss a valuable piece of information or a key word that would be important in picking the best answer.

Read all of the available answers. You're trying to pick the _best_ answer. The first answer may be a good answer, but it may not be the best one of the bunch, so make sure to read each and every answer choice.

Consider each possible choice as an answer and eliminate the ones that really don't fit. You can usually eliminate one or two choices easily. From the remaining choices, try to choose the one that makes the most sense as an answer to the question. If you _must_ guess, do your best to consider the key words in the question and answer, plus any additional qualifying words like "And", "Not", "Always", "Never", etc.

Finally, check your work. Make sure that you've answered each question. Make sure that you've answer each question with only once.
