Not/Except Questions
These questions are similar to fact/details question in that you will be ask questions about factual information, however in these questions you will be asked what is NOT the case. These questions are easy to identify since they will say NOT or EXCEPT directly in the question. Ex: All of the following are mentioned in the above passage except… Which of the following is not listed as an influence on jazz music….
Since the questions are very similar to fact/detail questions, the same strategies apply.
How to deal:
1. Find the key idea in the question, if the key ideas are not located in the question, find the key idea(s) of the answers.
2. Scan the passages for the key idea(s)
3. Read relevant sentences very closely
4. Choose the answer with the missing, altered, or contradictory key idea.
Watch out for:
* Correct answers that have been paraphrased with vocabulary that is not in the passage.
* Correct answers that have combined multiple ideas from the passage.
