Process of Elimination

Outsmart the Test

On the PSAT, you don't have to know every answer right away. Use the process of elimination to boost your odds.

How It Works

  • Read the question and all answer choices.
  • Cross out choices that are clearly wrong.
  • Focus on the remaining options.
  • Guess from the best of what's left if needed.

Why It Helps

Eliminating even one wrong answer increases your chance of picking the right one!

Examples

  • Eliminating answer choices with obvious grammar errors.

  • Narrowing down to two answers and choosing the most concise one.
