HOW TO ANSWER MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

PAPER 2 SECTION A
QUESTIONS 1-8

Read the entire question.


Read a multi-choice question in its entirety before glancing over the answer options. Students
often think they know what a question is asking before reading it and jump straight to the most
logical answer. This is a big mistake and can cost you dearly on multiple-choice exams. Read
each question thoroughly before reviewing answer options.

Eliminate wrong answers.


Eliminate answer options which you're 100 percent sure are incorrect before selecting the answer
you believe is correct. Even when you believe you know the right answer, first eliminating those
answers you know are incorrect will ensure your answer choice is the correct choice.

Use the process of elimination.


Using the process of elimination, cross out all the answers you know are incorrect, then focus on
the remaining answers. Not only does this strategy save time, it greatly increases your likelihood
of selecting the correct answer.

Select the best answer.


It's important to select the best answer to the question being asked, not just an answer the seems
correct. Often many answers will seem correct, but there is typically a best answer to the
question that your professors is looking for.

Read every answer option.


Read every answer option prior to choosing a final answer. This may seem like a no brainer to
some, but it is a common mistake students make. As we pointed out in the previous section, there
is usually a best answer to every multiple-choice question. If you quickly assume you know the
correct answer, without first reading every answer option, you may end up not selecting
the best answer.

Answer the questions you know first.


If you're having difficulty answering a question, move on and come back to tackle it once you've
answered all the questions you know. Sometimes answer easier question first can offer you
insight into answering more challenging questions.

Place your bet on the positive option.


In most cases, a positive option is probably true if there is also a negative one.

The more information...the better.


More often than not, the correct answer usually contains more information than the other options.
This is good to know if you must guess
