Study Strategies

Using Process of Elimination

Narrow Down Your Choices

When you’re unsure about an answer, eliminate the options you know are wrong. This increases your odds of picking the right one!

  • Cross out answers that don’t fit the facts.
  • Even if you can’t find the correct answer right away, removing one or two choices helps a lot.
  • Guessing is better if you have fewer options to choose from.

Mastering this technique can boost your confidence and your score.

Examples

  • Eliminating answers that mention events from the wrong era.

  • Crossing out options that don’t match what you know about a historical figure.
