3. Strategy for Mastery Items
GED® Social Studies: Full-Length Practice Exam (Level 6 - Mastery) · preview lesson
- Name the principle precisely. Popular sovereignty, judicial review, federalism, opportunity cost -- match the exact idea to the scenario.
- Read sources critically. Identify each author's claim, evidence, purpose, and bias; decide which is better supported.
- Weigh the trade-off. Most elite economics and policy questions ask what is gained AND what is given up.
- Synthesize the data. Draw a conclusion that fits ALL the evidence, not just one figure -- and remember correlation is not causation.
- Never leave a blank. Eliminate what you can, then choose.

A correlation is shown; other factors may be involved, so causation is not proven.
