If you’ve ever answered a question based on what must have happened — instead of what the question actually says — this episode fixes one of the most common PSI exam traps.

The South Carolina PSI exam is a closed system. You are only allowed to use the facts given in the question. When you add assumptions, relationships, or missing details, you’re answering a different question than the one being asked.

In this episode, you’ll learn why PSI intentionally leaves out information, how adding facts pulls you toward the wrong answer, and the simple rule you can use to stay inside the question every time.

This episode trains you to stop solving imaginary problems and start choosing based only on what the exam gives you — which immediately improves accuracy.

If you’ve ever stared at a question thinking, “Both of these answers seem correct,” this episode explains exactly what the PSI exam is testing in that moment.

The South Carolina PSI exam is designed to present multiple reasonable options — but only one answer is most compliant. In this episode, you’ll learn why PSI uses this tactic, how to identify what separates a “technically okay” answer from the correct one, and the decision rule you can apply anytime two choices look right.

This episode introduces the core exam filter you’ll use throughout the series to stop second-guessing, eliminate confidently, and move on without changing answers.
