Five Time-Saving Techniques
- Substitute values: put x = 0 or x = 1 into each option to test it quickly.
- Standard limits: memorise lim (sin x)/x = 1 and lim (1 + 1/n)n = e.
- Differentiate the options: for an integration MCQ, differentiating each answer is often faster than integrating.
- Domain checks: eliminate options where the function is undefined.
- Skip and return: never spend more than a minute on one question in the first pass.
