Strategies for Answering Multiple Choice Questions

Read the directions. Are you being asked to find the best response, most similar, or a correct response? This matters because it gives a clue regarding how the answers are designed

Answer each question in your head first before you look at the possible answers. Read the stem and your answer to yourself before marking the choice. Your ears can assist you with making the correct choice.

Read the stem and all of the choices before selecting your answer.

If you aren't sure of the correct answer: Cross off alternatives that are absurd, silly, or obviously incorrect. Make sure the stem and the choice you've chosen agree grammatically. Choose the alternative that is most inclusive. The longest choice is usually correct.

If you aren't sure of the correct answer: Be alert for choices that are identical (they are usually both incorrect) or opposite (often one of them will be the correct choice). Be careful when asked which is not true or all of the following apply except. These are asking you to pick an incorrect answer. If there is no penalty, guess if you don't know the answer! You have a 20-25% chance of choosing the correct response on most multiple choice questions.
