Common Traps
Pass score
No ATI minimum ≠ Schools set minimums
Calculator access
Math section only ≠ No science calculator
Science priority
Largest scored section ≠ Do not skip A&P
Evidence traps
Use passage support ≠ Avoid outside knowledge
Percent conversions
Divide by 100 ≠ Do not move twice
Units first
Cancel units ≠ Match answer unit
Comma splice
Comma is insufficient ≠ Use semicolon/conjunction
Correlation claim
Association only ≠ Causation needs design
Affect effect
Affect usually verb ≠ Effect usually noun
Its it's
Its owns ≠ It's means it is
