Q&A Difficulty with Long Answers

I can correctly code a test question with 1-2 code answers. However, I am missing a lot of practice test questions because I don't know how to decide in answers with 5-7 codes. I watched Laureen's video in looking at which ones have the most common choices, but it is not quite working with practice tests I am taking. What am I doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong Tracy - it's truly all about practice. After awhile you start to see patterns in the answers and you can tell which ones to look up first. After you take a practice exam and study the rationale - look at the answers in a non rushed manner and really study them - see how a few are just one or two digits from each other? chances are those are the ones to look up first to throw out one or two answers. Then look at what is left over. Do this slowly. Then on the next practice test you should see a difference. I hope that helps a little.

Happy Studying!
