Tips on answering multiple choice questions
Read the
question before you look at the answer.
Come up with
the answer in your head before looking at the possible answers, this way
the choices given on the test won't throw you off or trick you.
Eliminate
answers you know aren't right.
Read all the
choices before choosing your answer.
If there is no
guessing penalty, always take an educated guess and select an answer.
Don't keep on
changing your answer, usually your first choice is the right one, unless
you misread the question.
In "All of the
above" and "None of the above" choices, if you are certain one of the
statements is true don't choose "None of the above" or one of the
statements are false don't choose "All of the above".
In a question
with an "All of the above" choice, if you see that at least two correct
statements, then "All of the above" is probably the answer.
A positive
choice is more likely to be true than a negative one.
Usually the
correct answer is the choice with the most information.
