Tips for Answering Multiple Choice Questions

Read the directions carefully
Know if each question has one or more correct option
Know if you are penalized for guessing
Know how much time is allowed (this governs your strategy)
Preview the test
Read through the test quickly and answer the easiest questions first
Mark those you think you know in some way that is appropriate
Read through the test a second time and answer more difficult questions
You may pick up cues for answers from the first reading, or become more comfortable in the testing situation
If time allows, review both questions and answers
It is possible you mis-read questions the first time
Answering options

Improve your odds, think critically:
Cover the options, read the stem, and try to answer
Select the option that most closely matches your answer
Read the stem with each option
Treat each option as a true-false question, and choose the "most true"
Strategies to answer difficult questions:

Eliminate options you know to be incorrect
If allowed, mark words or alternatives in questions that eliminate the option
Give each option of a question the "true-false test:"
This may reduce your selection to the best answer
Question options that grammatically don't fit with the stem
Question options that are totally unfamiliar to you
Question options that contain negative or absolute words.
Try substituting a qualified term for the absolute one, like frequently for always; or typical for every to see if you can eliminate it
"All of the above:"

If you know two of three options seem correct, "all of the above" is a strong possibility
Number answers:

toss out the high and low and consider the middle range numbers
"Look alike options"

probably one is correct; choose the best but eliminate choices that mean basically the same thing, and thus cancel each other out
Double negatives:

Create the equivalent positive statement and consider
Echo options:

If two options are opposite each other, chances are one of them is correct
Favour options that contain qualifiers
The result is longer, more inclusive items that better fill the role of the answer
If two alternatives seem correct,compare them for differences, then refer to the stem to find your best answer

Guessing:

Always guess when there is no penalty
for guessing or you can eliminate options
Don't guess if you are penalized for guessing and if you have no basis for your choice
Use hints from questions you know to answer questions you do not.
Change your first answers when you are sure of the correction, or other cues in the test cue you to change.
Remember that you are looking for the best answer not only a correct one, and not one which must be true all of the time, in all cases, and without exceptionM I B S I T B T
