Tips for Conquering MCQs

Multiple-choice questions make up a large portion of the FAR exam. To succeed, practice active reading, eliminate obviously wrong answers, and pace yourself.

  • Read each question carefully and look for keywords.
  • Use logic and accounting knowledge to rule out distractors.
  • Don’t spend too long on one question; mark and return if needed.

Examples

  • Highlighting key terms in a question to focus on what’s being asked.

  • Crossing out two obviously incorrect choices to boost odds of a correct guess.
