Answering Multiple-Choice Questions

Beating the Test with Smart Choices

Multiple-choice questions can be tricky! Read each question carefully, eliminate answers you know are wrong, and look for clues in the wording. If you're unsure, make your best guess—never leave a question blank.

Tips

  • Read all answer choices before choosing.
  • Look for keywords in the question and passage.
  • Double-check your answers if you have time.

These strategies can boost your confidence and help you get higher scores.

Examples

  • Crossing out two obviously wrong answers before choosing.

  • Going back to the passage to check your answer.
