Guidance emphasizes staying calm with relaxation techniques, trusting initial judgments, avoiding over-analysis, and using structured decision methods like identifying an answer before reviewing choices. It also covers eliminating distractors, applying grammar and tense alignment, recognizing qualifier words versus absolutes, using “all of the above” when justified, and reflecting on broader HR context rather than personal or company-specific practice.

Research shows that recall is better when you are comfortable and relaxed.  \nTrust your first impressions after you are sure you understand the question. Usually your first choice is the right one.  \nAvoid over-analyzing. It can cause you to read too much into an answer. If uncertain, skip it and return later. The actual exam will automatically allow you to review skipped questions.  \nIdentify your answer before reading all the choices. In other words, decide what you THINK the answer will be, and then read the choices.  \nEliminate obvious distracter answers. Generally, there are two distracters. Eliminate them first. The remaining answers will require you to analyze them further, but at least you have a better chance at choosing the right one.  \n6  \n7  \n8  \n9  \n10  \nLook for grammatical clues between the question and the answer choices. For example, the question and the correct answer often have verbs of the same tense and have nouns and verbs that agree. Be cautious about options that grammatically don't fit with the stem.  \n\"All of the above\" is often a correct response. If you can verify that more than one of the other responses is probably correct, then choose \"all of the above.\"  \nNotice words like may, can, will often, rarely, etc. Often an answer choice will be wrong because it doesn't contain these words but has definitive words like\"exactly\" and *always\" which leaves no room for exception.  \nEcho options- if two options are opposite each other, chances are one of them is correct  \nQuestions are not state or industry specific, so try to answer based on the  \nbroader HR context, not just by thinking about personal experience, or how your company does things.  \nLearn more about our SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP Certification Preparation Programs at [https://shrm.learn-evolve.com](https://shrm.learn-evolve.com)   \nOr contact us for more information at [info@learn-evolve.com](info@learn-evolve.com)","cbCaivYl02TUqXZB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivYl02TUqXZB","pdf",101507,"English","# Study mindset and recall\n## Relaxation and decision confidence\n# Answering techniques during the exam\n## Avoid over-analyzing and skip/return\n## Pre-identify the likely answer\n## Eliminate distractors first\n## Use grammar and tense clues\n## Recognize qualifier vs absolute language\n## Consider “all of the above”\n## Use opposite-answer echoing","[{\"question\":\"What should candidates do right before the SHRM exam to improve performance?\",\"answer\":\"Practice relaxation techniques just before taking the exam so you can stay comfortable and relaxed, which supports recall.\"},{\"question\":\"How can candidates handle questions they are uncertain about during the exam?\",\"answer\":\"Avoid over-analyzing; if uncertain, skip the question and return later since the exam allows reviewing skipped items.\"},{\"question\":\"Which strategies help candidates choose the correct answer among multiple choices?\",\"answer\":\"Identify the likely answer before reading all choices, eliminate obvious distractors first, and use grammatical clues such as matching verb tense and noun/verb agreement.\"}]","Top Ten SHRM Certification Exam Tips - Exam Preparation | PDF"]
