Quiz taking strategies
Multiple choice
This is how you answer a
multiple choice question.
Why
1. Read the question first. Identify
the key words in the question.
Remember the key words.
The key words will help you know what
the question is really asking. Sometimes
key words are repeated in the answer
that is correct.
2. Think about the question. Don’t
look at the list of answers yet. Try to
answer the question using what you
remember from the lesson.
Sometimes multiple choice answers are
written in a confusing way. If you think
you know what the right answer is, you
will be less confused by the wording of
the answers.
3. Read the list of multiple choice
answers. Ignore any answers you
know are wrong.
Because you have already thought about
the right answer, you will quickly know if
a multiple choice answer is wrong. Ignore it.
4. Ask yourself if each of the answers
is true or false.
Sometimes test writers put in false
answers to confuse you. Ignore those
false answers.
5. Ignore any answers that might
be true but are not related to the
question.
Sometimes one of the answers is true,
but it is not the answer to the question.
6. If one of the choices is “all of the
above,” you should read each
answer again carefully.
If you know that two of the choices are
correct, then the answer is probably “all
of the above.”
