- Not reading the full context (Q11–15): Students may choose an answer based on partial reading. Encourage them to read the entire sentence before selecting an answer.
- Mixing up synonyms and antonyms (Q1–10): Students sometimes rush and select a synonym when the question asks for an antonym (or vice versa). Remind them to read the section heading carefully.
