Sometimes when I am taking a test ill do a question and I think its a most strongly supported and after wasting time going through the answers because none of them could be strongly supported I realized it is a strengthen question. And vice versa. How do I stop mixing up the two question stems?

Hi C,

It's mostly a matter of tracking language carefully! And knowing that the word "strengthen" can be used in different ways, so not to assume that it's automatically a Strengthen question. Whenever you see strengthen or support, then look at the flow of info to determine whether the answers are helping the stimulus, or whether the stimulus is being used to prove an answer.

Thanks!
