- Anticipate the answer before you look at the choices. Physically cover the answers with your scantron sheet to see if your can answer the question first.
- Read over all of your options.
- Eliminate highly implausible answers.
- Some examiners give away answers in their tests. By answering one question, you may be able to realize the answer to another question.
- If you must guess, keep in mind the following tips for multiple choice tests:
- Sometimes lengthy or highly specific answers will be the correct answer.
- Be aware of words like “always,” “never,” “only,” “must,” and “completely.” These are usually the wrong answers since there are many exceptions to rules. These are extreme words that are more than likely to be the wrong choice.
- Answer all questions in order without skipping or jumping around. Identify doubtful answers by marking in the margin and recheck these as time permits after all questions have been answered.
- Do not linger too long on any one question. Mark your best guess and move on, returning later if you have sufficient time.
