R ead the question carefully.
  • Highlight the important words.
    "I am underlining the word "all" and "harmful" because I must think of all the harmful side effects of alcohol on the body. The word "except" is underlined because it is a tricky question. I am going to choose the choice that is NOT a harmful side effect of alcohol."All of the following are harmful side effects of alcohol consumption on the body except?
  • Put the question in your own words.
    "They want to know which one is NOT a harmful side effect of alcohol consumption. So I need to list all the harmful side effects of alcohol on the body that I do know. I can cross out those answers and the answer left should be the correct answer."
  • Remember where you saw the answer in your text or notes.
    "I remember writing the answer down in my notes from an overhead in class. We made a list of all the side effects of alcohol consumption."
