Study Strategies

Estimation & Elimination

Making Smart Guesses

Sometimes, you don’t need the exact answer to find the right choice! Use estimation to round numbers and quickly see which answers make sense. If an answer is way off, eliminate it—this narrows your choices and boosts your chances of picking correctly.

  • Round numbers to make calculations easier.
  • Cross out answers that don’t fit or are impossible.

Estimation and elimination help you work faster and smarter on test day.

Examples

  • Rounding 49.8 to 50 to make multiplication easier.

  • Crossing out answer choices that are too high or too low.
