Mastering Multiple-Choice Questions

Tips for Multiple-Choice Success

  • Eliminate wrong answers: Cross out obviously incorrect choices to improve your odds.
  • Plug in numbers: Substitute values to check which answers work.
  • Estimate and check units: Sometimes you can get close enough by estimating or checking for unrealistic answers.
  • Don't get stuck: If a question is taking too long, mark it and move on—you can always come back!

Examples

  • Use estimation to rule out answers that are way too big or small.

  • Plug in \( x = 0 \) or \( x = 1 \) into answer choices to see which one fits.
