Mastering Multiple Choice

Tackle Multiple Choice with Confidence

Read every question carefully and eliminate obviously wrong answers. Look for key data in graphs or tables. If stuck, make an educated guess—there’s no penalty for guessing on the AP Statistics exam!

Tips

  • Circle keywords or numbers in the question
  • Check units and labels on graphs
  • Move on if you’re stuck and return later

Examples

  • Underline 'mean' or 'median' when asked to find a measure of center.

  • Eliminate answers that don’t fit the data shown in a graph.
