Smart Guessing Strategies

Guessing Wisely

On multiple-choice exams, sometimes you won’t know every answer. Use process of elimination to rule out obviously wrong choices. If you can eliminate even one answer, your chances improve. Remember, blank answers may not get penalized, but educated guesses can boost your score if you’re strategic.

  • Eliminate as many wrong answers as possible
  • Don’t spend too long on one tough question
  • Make an educated guess rather than leaving it blank if you can narrow it down

Examples

  • Crossing out two clearly wrong choices, then picking between the remaining two.

  • Skipping a question you have no clue on, but guessing when you’ve narrowed it down to two options.
