Study Strategies

Using Process of Elimination

Narrowing Down Your Choices

If you’re unsure of the answer, eliminate the obviously wrong options first. This increases your odds of picking the right one, even if you have to guess. Often, just removing one or two unlikely answers can make a difference and boost your confidence.

Examples

  • Crossing out answers that don't match information in the passage.

  • Choosing between two remaining options after eliminating the rest.
