Eliminating Wrong Answers

Narrow Down Your Choices

If you’re not sure about the answer, cross out the ones you know are wrong. This makes it easier to choose the right one from what’s left. Even if you guess, you have a better chance!

How to Use This Strategy

  • Read all the answer choices.
  • Cross out answers that don’t make sense.
  • Pick the best answer from the ones that are left.

This trick helps you feel more confident on the test.

Examples

  • Eliminating answers that are not mentioned in the passage.

  • Crossing out choices that are the opposite of what the story says.
