Process of Elimination

Making the Best Choice

When you’re unsure about a question, use the process of elimination. Cross out answers that are definitely wrong. This makes it easier to spot the correct answer and boosts your chances, even if you have to guess.

This strategy helps you avoid common traps and narrow down your options.

Examples

  • Eliminating two answers that don’t match the passage before choosing the best one.

  • Crossing out answers that are too extreme or unrelated to the text.
