Process of Elimination

Narrowing Down Your Choices

When you’re unsure of an answer, use the process of elimination to cross out answers you know are wrong. This increases your chances of choosing the right one!

How To Do It

  • Read all options carefully.
  • Cross out answers that don’t make sense.
  • Focus on the ones that fit best.

Keep going until only the best answer remains.

Examples

  • Crossing out three out of four answers on a synonym question, leaving only the correct one.

  • Eliminating answers that don't fit the sentence in a completion question.
