Mastering Multiple-Choice Questions

Boost Your Test Performance

Multiple-choice questions can be tricky, but with the right strategies, you can tackle them with confidence.

  • Read the question carefully and identify what is being asked before looking at the answers.
  • Eliminate obviously wrong choices to increase your odds.
  • Watch out for absolute terms like "always" or "never," which are rarely correct.
  • Mark and return to tough questions if you’re unsure, so you don’t waste time.
  • Use logic to make educated guesses when in doubt.

Practicing these techniques will help you stay calm and efficient during the exam.

Examples

  • If two answer choices are opposites, one is often correct.

  • If you’re unsure, eliminate one or two wrong answers to improve your guess.
