Process of Elimination

Narrowing Down the Choices

Sometimes, you won't know the answer right away. That's okay! Use the process of elimination to remove choices that are clearly wrong.

  • Cross out answers that don't make sense.
  • Compare the remaining choices and pick the best one.

This strategy helps you make an educated guess and increases your chances of picking the correct answer.

Examples

  • Crossing out answer choices in a synonym question that have the wrong meaning.

  • Eliminating analogy options that don't match the relationship.
