Strategy & Tips

câu hỏi hoặc câu tường thuật.
- Khi bạn nghe câu hỏi hoặc câu tường thuật, hãy nghĩ về những câu trả lời có
thể có.
- Lắng nghe cẩn thận cả ba câu trả lời trước khi đưa ra quyết định của mình.
- Loại bỏ bất kỳ câu trả lời nào mà bạn chắc chắn là sai.
- Nếu bạn không chắc chắn về câu trả lời, đừng lãng phí thời gian. Hãy quyết
định nhanh chóng! Chỉ có một khoảng dừng ngắn vài giây giữa mỗi câu hỏi
thôi.

Tips:
