Eliminate Weak Answers First

Smart Multiple Choice Strategies

When taking Security A+ exams, there are often multiple-choice questions with tricky options. A great strategy is to quickly cross out answers that are obviously wrong, narrowing down your choices. This boosts your odds, even if you have to guess.

Why This Works

  • Reduces confusion by focusing on likely answers
  • Saves time on tough questions

How to Use It

  • Read every option carefully
  • Eliminate answers that don't fit the question or are clearly incorrect
  • Choose from the remaining options, or make an educated guess if you're unsure

Examples

  • On a test, crossing out answers that mention hardware when the question is about software.

  • Ignoring choices that don’t relate to cybersecurity at all.
