Elimination and Guessing Strategies

Smart Answer Choices

If you’re unsure of an answer, don’t panic! Use elimination to cross out wrong answers and improve your odds of guessing correctly.

How to Eliminate

  • Remove any options that are clearly too high, too low, or don’t make sense.
  • Look for clues in the question that point to certain choices.
  • Never leave a question blank—guessing gives you a chance, but skipping gives you none!

With practice, elimination becomes a powerful tool for maximizing your score.

Examples

  • Crossing out two obviously wrong answers to improve your chances.

  • Making an educated guess after narrowing down the options.
