PREPARING FOR A MULTIPLE CHOICE EXAM

Step 1

Carefully read the test question and determine what is being asked by identifying key words.

Step 2

Make sure to read all the answer choices. There are probably a couple of obviously wrong answers you can eliminate right away.

Step 3

Extreme words such as All, Always and Never generally are not in the correct answer.

Step 4
If you see the answer choice, "None of the Above" this is usually not the correct answer. If you see the answer choice, "All of the Above" this usually is the correct answer.

Step 5

If you have two answer choices and they are direct opposites, one of them is most likely the correct answer.

Step 6

Make sure you answered the question! This seems like it would be obvious, but when people write tests they come up with some really good answer choices that are correct, they just don't answer the question being asked.
