Process of Elimination

Narrow Down Your Choices

When you’re unsure, try to eliminate obviously wrong answers. Even if you don’t know the exact answer, cutting down your options increases your chances of guessing correctly. Look for answers that don’t fit the question or violate math rules.

How to Practice

  • Cross out answers as you read.
  • Use logic to spot impossible or unlikely results.

Examples

  • Crossing out answers that give negative values when only positives make sense.

  • Eliminating options that break basic math properties, like dividing by zero.
