Making a final decision: Only 2 choices left.

I often find myself in these predicaments. I'm looking at a Q and I've narrowed it down to 2 answer choices. The last 2 are very similar at times, and I always seem to pick the wrong answer choice.

How does one get away from this?

I know once you make a decision that you should stick with it, but at what point can you or do you change it? I sometimes go back and forth and it just drives me crazy. Is your gut always right? Should you go with the answer choice that came to your head first or the one where you where you thought about it more? But sometimes I can reason it out, but there are those times where my reasoning is faulty.

What to do, gut or reason?

I figure out which one of them draws me like a moth to the flame.. and I select the OTHER one. I figure the one that I'm drawn to is a distractor anyways.

Wow. So does it work for you? What percent of these Qs do you end up getting right with this technique?

better to go with your gut instinct. Sure some distractors are good but usually there is a reason you have a gut instinct about it, especially toward the end of your studying.

Go with your gut if you are hungry.

Go with your gut. And to answer the other part of your question, you change it from your gut to the other choice only if you remember a concrete piece of information that was eluding you previously.
