ASVAB CampTimed Elimination for WK flashcards
8 cards with the formulas, rules and traps from this lesson. Answer in your head, then flip to check.
Strategy · 1/8
What is the 5-move decision loop for a timed WK item?
Read the word and its sentence; paraphrase a meaning in your own words; reject choices that clearly do not fit; compare the survivors with your paraphrase; commit and move on.
Fact · 2/8
Can you return to a WK question on the CAT-ASVAB? On the paper test?
CAT: no, an answer is final once submitted, so do one quick check of target and selected option. Paper: you may skip a hard item and return within the same subtest.
Fact · 3/8
Official WK timing on the CAT and paper versions (per the lesson)?
CAT: 15 scored items in 9 minutes (can differ with tryout items). Paper: 35 questions in 11 minutes, about 19 seconds per item.
Rule · 4/8
Should you leave a WK item blank or random-fill many items at the end of the CAT?
Never leave an item blank: narrow the choices and pick. But on CAT, avoid random-filling several items at the end because of the scoring penalty; keep making reasoned attempts.
Common trap · 5/8
How should negation be handled in 'The repair was far from ADEQUATE'?
Define the word alone first (adequate: good enough, so sufficient), then let the negation apply to the sentence. Do not pick 'poor', which describes the repair, not the word.
Common trap · 6/8
Why is 'imminent' wrong for EMINENT, and 'fluent' wrong for AFFLUENT?
Sound-alike traps. Eminent means famous or respected; imminent means about to happen. Affluent means wealthy; fluent means skilled in speaking. If spelling is your main reason, run substitution.
Rule · 7/8
When only two choices remain, how do you decide between them?
Name a real difference between them (precise sense, intensity or tone) and check which one the word or sentence requires. Conceal: hide, not store, because it means kept out of sight.
Common trap · 8/8
Why shouldn't you prove every distractor wrong before answering?
It burns time with little gain. Once one option clearly matches your prediction and passes substitution, select it; save detailed comparison for the final two.
