Test Taking Strategies

Strategies for Taking Multiple Choice Tests

• Read the question before you look at the answers.

• Look at the possible choices so that you know the

format of the answer.

• Eliminate answers you know aren't right.

• Read all the choices before choosing your answer.

• Try to picture the situation when given a story problem.

• Never leave an answer blank.

Strategies (continued)

• Don't keep on changing your answer. Usually your first choice is the right one, unless you misread the question.

• In a question with an "All of the above" choice, if you see that at least two correct statements, then "All of the above" is probably the answer.

• Estimation – Round the values and find a reasonable answer.

• Eliminate the unreasonable answers.

• Work backward. Plug in the answers and find the correct solution(s).
