Cheat Sheet
- Classify Statement Types -
Begin by identifying whether a statement is factual (verifiable data), universal ("all," "never"), conditional ("if…then"), or existential ("some," "at least one"). For instance, "If you heat water to 100 °C at sea level, it boils" is conditional, while "All mammals are warm-blooded" is universal. Remember the mnemonic "F-CUE" (Factual, Conditional, Universal, Existential) to keep them straight.
- Spot Key Qualifiers -
When a quiz prompt asks which statement is true or which of the following is true, watch for qualifiers like "always," "never," "only," or "sometimes." Absolute qualifiers such as "always" and "never" are often false unless tied to a scientific law or definition. A quick tip: treat "always" as a red flag in general trivia unless you're dealing with pure mathematics or dictionary definitions.
- Leverage Process of Elimination -
Cross out options that directly conflict with well-established facts or internal logic to narrow down which of the following statement is true. For example, if two choices contradict each other, at least one must be wrong, making elimination easier. This strategy is endorsed by testing centers like ETS for GRE critical reasoning sections.
- Use Context Clues and External Knowledge -
Draw on the surrounding text or your prior learning to validate true statements - context often contains hidden hints. If a statement mentions a historical date or scientific concept, quickly compare it to reliable sources (e.g., a quick mental check with known formulas or timelines). This approach mirrors how academic researchers verify claims against primary university publications.
- Practice with Timed Drills -
Regularly challenge yourself with short quizzes labeled "which statement is true" or "which of the following is true answer" on platforms like Khan Academy or official GRE practice materials. Time-bound practice builds both speed and accuracy, helping you spot traps under pressure. Track your improvement by reviewing explanations from reputable sources such as college writing centers or educational journals.
