Mastering Multiple Choice Questions

Tips for Success

Multiple choice questions can be tricky, but with practice and strategy, you can excel.

  • Read each question carefully. Watch for keywords like 'except' or 'not.'
  • Eliminate obviously wrong answers to improve your odds.
  • Look for clues in the question that relate to what you've studied.
  • Don't second-guess yourself too much—your first instinct is often correct!

Stay calm, manage your time, and use logic to narrow down your choices.

Examples

  • Cross out two answers that don't fit, then focus on the remaining options.

  • Underline terms like 'always' or 'never' in the question to spot absolutes.
