Common Traps in Making Judgments Questions
- Choosing a partial match: An option may satisfy two conditions but fail an essential third condition.
- Ignoring mandatory conditions: A strong advantage cannot compensate for failure of a compulsory requirement.
- Using personal preference: Your preferred option is not necessarily the logically correct option.
- Adding assumptions: Do not introduce facts that are not given.
- Confusing preference with requirement: A preferred feature is different from a mandatory condition.
- Reversing a statement: Do not assume that a condition works in both directions unless the question establishes it.
- Stopping too early: If the question asks for the best option, compare all plausible choices.
- Ignoring exact wording: Words such as only, at least, below, within, must, preferred, and except can change the judgment.

10-Second Test
Before marking an answer, ask:
- What exactly must be decided?
- What are the mandatory conditions?
- Which options clearly fail those conditions?
- Does my selected option satisfy the remaining important criteria?
- Have I added any assumption that is not given?
If the selected option passes these checks, it is usually the best-supported judgment.
