Process of Elimination

Narrowing Down Your Choices

When in doubt, use the process of elimination to boost your odds of choosing the right answer. Crossing out obviously wrong options helps you focus.

How to Use It

  • Read all answer choices carefully.
  • Eliminate those that are clearly unrelated or unsupported by the passage.
  • Guess from the remaining options if you’re unsure.

This strategy saves time and increases your chances of success on the Praxis reading section.

Examples

  • Eliminating two answer choices that don’t match the passage’s details, then deciding between the remaining two.

  • Crossing out answer options that include information not found in the text.
