Study Tip: Compare & Contrast the Concepts

There can be many similarities across various theories and concepts, making some of those answer choices really challenging and leave you thinking it all sounds the same. 

To deepen your understanding of the material, focus on what differentiates the concepts from one another. Two theories sound really similar? Put them in a table, so you can see the defining features of each theory side by side. By focusing on what makes each concept unique, you'll improve your ability to determine what defines each theory. This will ultimately improve your mastery of the material and make it easier to narrow down the answer choices.
