Elimination Techniques for Multiple Choice

Outsmarting Tricky Questions

The NCLEX-RN often presents choices that seem similar. Learning to eliminate clearly wrong answers improves your odds.

How to Use Elimination

  • Cross out answers that are unsafe or unrelated
  • Look for absolute words (never, always) – these are often incorrect
  • Compare remaining options and pick the most logical, safe action

With practice, elimination becomes second nature and can help you tackle even the toughest questions.

Examples

  • Eliminating options that contradict standard safety protocols.

  • Crossing out answers containing the word 'always' when none of the choices are absolute.
