<p>All right, guys. I took another QAS today and I have realized that I noticed quite a few extreme words that make an answer choice particularly difficult to defend in the Critical Reading section. Of course, this is just one test and I have just realized this now, so I will look at other tests to see if this kind of pattern recurs. But for the time being, I would like to share some extreme words that are characteristics of wrong answers:</p>
<p>anyone
everyone
always
every
never
ever
none
absolute
greatest</p>
<p>Now an exception is "universal". I remember that I picked this answer choice in my October test when I eked out a 680 (or something like that) in Critical Reading. I am quite sure that I got this question correctly, and for a moment, I thought that this answer choice was wrong because it seemed as if it were extreme. But this word was rather making the answer choice sort of generic and wishy-washy, making the answer choice easier to defend and thereby making it correct. </p>
<p>I am definitely intrigued by what I found in this exam. I will check other exams to see if extreme answers are, from time to time, NOT the correct answer. Does anyone else share the same sentiment?</p>
