Multiple Choice Test
The following are test taking tips that can be applied to improve multiple choice test questions:
- Read the question twice before you look at the answers
- After reading the question and before looking for the answer provided on the test, try to come up with the correct answer on your own.
- Read all the possible choices before selecting one.
- Use a process of elimination to discover the correct answer.
- If “All the above” is a possible answer and you see two correct answers, then “All the above” would be a correct choice.
- In most cases, a positive choice is more likely to be the correct answer (or true) than a negative choice.
- The correct answer often has the most information included in the answer.
- Usually your first choice will be your best choice.
- When there is no penalty for guessing then make an educated guess when selecting an answer.
