How to approach questions where you have to select factors

Step 1: Read the instructions carefully. Note that only three of the factors are correct. Note also that the instructions in this sample task tell you what topic to focus on. In this case the instructions tell you to focus on poor communication as a contributing factor in the disaster. Although other factors may have contributed to the disaster (such as A and C) only the three correct answers focus on poor communication as a contributing factor.

Step 2: Read through the list of factors.

Step 3: Scan the text and find the sections or paragraphs which discuss poor communication.

Step 4: Read those sections carefully and select the appropriate three factors.
