Process of Elimination

Narrow Down Your Choices

When you’re stuck between answers, crossing out the ones that definitely don’t fit can boost your chances of picking the right one. If you can rule out two options, you’ve doubled your odds!

  • Look for choices that don’t make sense in context.
  • Cross off extreme or unrelated answers.
  • Focus on what’s left and make your best guess.

This strategy is a lifesaver when you’re unsure or running out of time.

Examples

  • Eliminating answers that are the opposite of the word in the question.

  • Crossing off choices that don’t fit the sentence’s tone.
