Making Sense of Multiple-Choice Questions

Multiple-Choice Mastery

Read every question carefully and look for key words—sometimes a single word changes the meaning! Eliminate obviously wrong answers first. Use estimation and dimensional analysis to quickly check which answers make sense.

If you get stuck, mark the question and come back later with fresh eyes. Practice timing to ensure you finish on test day.

Examples

  • Eliminating answers that have the wrong units.

  • Spotting clues in a question that indicate the right approach.
