Mastering Multiple-Choice Questions

Outsmarting the Options

Multiple-choice questions can be tricky, but with the right strategies you can boost your score. Read each question carefully, eliminating obviously wrong answers. If you’re unsure, make an educated guess—there’s no penalty for guessing. Sometimes, working backwards (plugging answer choices into the problem) can help you find the right answer faster. Stay calm and trust your preparation!

Examples

  • Cross out answers that don’t make sense to improve your odds if you need to guess.

  • Try plugging each answer choice into a formula to see which one works.
