Q: If the question is multiple choice, then opt for the answer to the question that is the longest and most specific. This is often the correct response.  For example, if the question provides a short, vague answer for a few of the options and then a longer, more detailed option answer for 1 of the options, then the longer answer is likely correct. Sometimes, lengthy and over-detailed answers are purposefully written on the test to trick you into believing it’s the best answer. Use your best judgment to determine if the answer fits the question best. The right answer is often grammatically correct when read along with the question and/or shares similar language with the question. Read the question and then read each of the answers in response to it to see which answer sounds correct.  For example, if the question uses the past tense and only 1 of the answers is written in the past tense, then this might be the correct answer. Likewise, if the question features certain terms that 1 answer also includes, then this may be the correct answer. If you are trying to find the correct numerical answer, choose a number in the middle of the range of number choices provided. For example, if the possible answers are 1, 3, 12, and 26, then 12 is a good guess because it is about halfway between 1 and 26. When in doubt, choose C or B on multiple test questions. C is the most common answer on multiple choice exams, and B is the second most common answer. Choose C if you are unsure which answer to choose, and choose B if C seems incorrect. For example, if you come across a question that you have no idea what the correct answer could be, then choose C. However, if you think C is incorrect but can’t decide which of the other responses might be right, then choose B. ” “None of the above” is rarely the right answer, but “all of the above” is often correct. Using this rule can help you to narrow your choices if you are unsure of how to answer a question. For example, if you are unsure of the answer to a question and “all of the above” is an option, then choose it. If “none of the above" is offered, then you can eliminate that as a possible correct response and focus on your other options.
A: Choose the most detailed answer option provided. Look for linguistic commonalities between the questions and answers. Select the numerical choice in the mid-range of the options. Select C or B if you just don’t know. Select “all of the above” when it’s offered, but avoid “none of the above.

Q: There's no set number for how many times a day a diabetic should check their sugar. The number of times you should use your meter is based on your individual needs, so talk to your doctor about it.  For instance, if you have type 1 diabetes, your doctor may recommend checking before each meal, as well as before bedtime and before and after exercising. If you have type 2 diabetes, your doctor may decide you don't need to check it as much. Often, they'll want you to check it before meals. If you're on insulin, you may have to check it before you give yourself the shot, as you may need to adjust your insulin intake based on your blood sugar levels for short-acting insulin. To test your blood sugar, begin by washing your hands. You're creating a small puncture wound, so you want to be as clean as possible! Turn your meter on and insert a test strip if that's how your meter works. Use the lancet to puncture the side of your fingertip, drawing up a drop of blood. Place the drop on the test strip and wait for your meter to read it.  You can squeeze your finger a bit if you're not getting enough blood. Some older meters require that you put the blood on the strip before inserting it into the meter. Typically, you want your results to be 70 mg/dl to 100 mg/dl before a meal and under 140 mg/dl after a meal. However, talk to your doctor about your target range. Tracking your blood sugar levels can help you see trends, which in turn can help you figure out how to better control your blood sugar. You'll also find plenty of apps that will keep track of your blood sugar readings for you. You can track your blood sugar levels the old fashioned way with a pen and paper. Just keep it with your meter so you can jot it down each time. This may be very helpful when you have doctor’s appointments, as you can just bring it to the doctor’s office with you.
A: Ask your doctor how often you should be checking your blood sugar. Test your blood sugar with a blood sugar meter. Keep track of your results with an app for easy tracking. Track your blood sugar with a pen and paper if you’d prefer the traditional approach.

Q: Read the draft of your eulogy aloud. If you have time and the inclination, read it to someone as practice. Words sound differently when read aloud than on paper. If you have inserted humor, get feedback from someone about its appropriateness and effectiveness. Remember, writing is 90% rewriting, so expect to revise your work several times before it shines.  Rehearsing the eulogy will also help you learn to control your emotions and not get choked up over the speech. Try memorizing as much of the speech as you can, or even just reading from notes. Though you should have something to fall back on if you forgot what you were going to say, your words will sound more heartfelt if you're not reading every sentence right off the page. Though you should hope that you're emotionally prepared to give the speech on the big day, you should have a close friend or family member who has read the eulogy be prepared to read it for you in case you're too choked up to read it. Though you probably won't need one, you'll feel more relaxed just knowing that you have a backup if you need one. Before you speak, calm yourself by realizing everyone in attendance is there to support you. It may help to have a glass of water with you on the podium to help you maintain your composure. Just know that everyone will appreciate your efforts and admire you for having  written and given a eulogy. You can't fail. Tell yourself you're not there to win a speech-giving contest or to impress anyone. You're there to convey your heartfelt feelings about the deceased and that's it. Talk or read your eulogy to the audience as if you are talking to friends. Make eye contact. Pause. Go slowly if you want. Connect with your audience and share the moment with them; after all, you're not an entertainer, you're one of them. There's no need to be formal when you're surrounded by loved ones who share your grief. Remember to sound like yourself, not some formal version of yourself. You can use a conversational tone as long as you don't use inappropriate language or too much slang that might confuse the older members of the audience.
A:
Rehearse the eulogy before the big day. Have a standby. Relax. Use a conversational tone.
