Test Tips

Test Tips for taking a multiple choice test:

1. Read the question to determine what is being asked (beware of NOT, best describes, etc.)

2. Underline/highlight key words or phrases

3. Cross out “junk” words (those you don’t need)

4. Rewrite the question in your own words

5. Try to answer the question without looking at the answer options

6. Make yes or no questions out of the answers

7. Eliminate the answers you know are wrong

8. If you are at a 50/50 chance and they are complete sentences then choose the longest answer.
