Process of Elimination on Multiple-Choice Questions

Outsmarting Tricky Answers

Multiple-choice questions can be confusing, but the process of elimination helps you narrow down your options. Cross out answers that are obviously wrong, then choose the best remaining choice.

Steps to Use This Strategy

  • Read every answer carefully.
  • Eliminate answers that don’t make sense or don’t match the passage.
  • If you’re stuck, make your best guess from the choices left.

Why It Helps

Eliminating wrong answers increases your chances of picking the right one—even if you’re unsure.

Examples

  • Crossing out two obviously wrong answers to increase your chances of getting the right answer.

  • Noticing that one answer doesn’t fit the main idea and eliminating it.
