[Nibz]

1. they examined the isnad closely+ Explain it
2. They would look for a hadith that had been reported by many different companions
3. They laid a criterion that the transmitter must be truthful, firm of faith, have good memory etc + sum other details
4. They compared the matn with other sources like Quran or PErsonal Opinion.
5. They'd check that the hadith must not be contrary to the teachings of Quran
6. the hadith must not be contrary to a hadith already accepted as authentic
7. The hadith must not go against common sense.
8. It shud not praise a particular person
9. It shud not praise a particular community

The answer by Nibz is correct. I would suggest you to prepare from the book by Farkhanda Noor. Well it was the only book I had prepared from (+Marking scheme for Quranic verses) and was able to get an A* (in May 2010, this question came in our exam)
