Eliminate wrong answers

5:22

have no

5:22

idea

5:22

don't i didn't hear what the answer was

5:25

i i'm completely lost

5:27

and that's where eliminating can can be

5:29

useful

5:30

because you may not know which option is

5:33

correct

5:34

but you may know which options are not

5:36

correct

5:38

of course normally out of four options

5:40

you have a 25

5:41

chance or a one in four chance of

5:43

getting the right answer

5:45

but if you can reduce those odds by

5:47

eliminating

5:49

a couple or maybe three if possible

5:51

three of the options

5:53

that you just think they're just

5:55

definitely

5:56

wrong you could think i definitely

5:58

didn't hear anything about that or maybe

6:00

i heard something but it

6:02

wasn't exactly saying that if you can if

6:05

you just eliminate one then that

6:07

increases your chances of getting the

6:09

answer correct if you can eliminate two

6:11

then you have a 50 50 chance of course

6:13

of getting the answer correct

6:15

and often you can actually eliminate

6:17

three and then

6:18

as i said although you you're not sure

6:20

which option is correct

6:22

if you've eliminated three of the

6:25

options then obviously the one you have

6:26

left

6:27

is probably correct so yeah think about

6:30

eliminating as a strategy

6:31

in this in the multiple choice part of

6:34

the

6:34

listening and tip number five is don't

6:37

6:38
