Elimination and Educated Guessing

Outsmarting Tough Questions

Not sure about an answer? Use the process of elimination to narrow down choices and make your best guess!

Smart Test-Taking Moves

  • Rule out answers you know are wrong.
  • Look for clues in the question or other answers.
  • Don’t leave any question unanswered—an educated guess is better than none.
  • Watch out for answers that are too extreme or don’t fit with the rest of the question.

Stay Calm and Keep Moving

Trust your instincts and don’t get stuck—move on and come back if you have time.

Examples

  • Crossing out two obviously incorrect answers to improve your odds.

  • Using hints from a question's wording to make a smart guess.
