PT67.S3.Q04 (G1) - five students

steve-10

In PT 67 S3 G1 Q4, JY determines that "(A)" is correct for a "which one must be false?" question, and then says, "and you can check the rest; you should check the rest [my emphasis]." Now as we fans of JY know, he very often does not check the rest in order to save -- shall I say not to waste? -- time. What criterion should I use in deciding whether to check the rest?

In this case, the only purpose of checking I can think of is to discover whether our diagram is flawed because it leaves us without an answer -- please correct me if I'm wrong about that. If so, it's certainly a valid purpose, but is the time trade-off worth it?

Meta: I posted this question here rather than as a comment on the game because those comments don't seem to get much attention. Please let me know if I'm out of line.

Bumping so more people see.

Confidence, question type, and time left.

If the question is a must be false and I find one that must be false, I'll circle it and come back to check the rest of the answers at the end if I have time. This is assuming I am >90% confident I am right.

Now, on the other hand, If it is a "complete and accurate list" question then I check them all.
