24 Rules to Follow When Using a Dichotomous Key Always read both choices, even if the first seems to be the logical. Understand the meaning of the terms involved in the key. When measurements are given, use a scale to measure the specimen. Do not guess at a measurement. Living things are always variable, so do not base your organism identification in the field on a single observation.
