Preparing To Take A Multiple Choice test



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.
