Careful….a single word can make a true sentence false.
![Page 24: Jamey Gill Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Coordinator, Lake County College-Going Initiative Lake County Office of Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e305503460f94b20dc2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

FALSE!
![Page 26: Jamey Gill Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Coordinator, Lake County College-Going Initiative Lake County Office of Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e305503460f94b20dc2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Watch out for broad, general statements that may often be true, but are not always true.
![Page 27: Jamey Gill Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Coordinator, Lake County College-Going Initiative Lake County Office of Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e305503460f94b20dc2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In True-False questions a false sentence often looks
like a true one.
-READ CAREFULLY-
![Page 28: Jamey Gill Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Coordinator, Lake County College-Going Initiative Lake County Office of Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e305503460f94b20dc2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Hunt for the word or detail that can make a statement
false.
![Page 29: Jamey Gill Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Coordinator, Lake County College-Going Initiative Lake County Office of Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e305503460f94b20dc2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Other Strategies: True/False
• Qualifiers: words like ‘sometimes, often, frequently, generally’ make more modest claims, and may indicate a ‘True’ answer.
![Page 30: Jamey Gill Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Coordinator, Lake County College-Going Initiative Lake County Office of Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e305503460f94b20dc2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Other Strategies: True/False
• Absolute words: ‘No, never, none, always, every…’ imply the statement must be true 100% of the time, and may indicate a ‘False’ answer.
![Page 31: Jamey Gill Curriculum and Instruction Specialist Coordinator, Lake County College-Going Initiative Lake County Office of Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062801/56649e305503460f94b20dc2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Other Strategies: True/False

• Know your test writer’s tendencies.
