Downloaded from: https://cse-r17.blogspot.com www.studymaterialz.in MCQ’s TIPS Read the entire question Answer it in your mind first, without seeing option. Read every answer option. Eliminate wrong answers. Answer the questions you know first. Pay attention to the words It's usually best to stick with your first choice--but not always. When there are seemingly two correct answers. Downloaded from: https://cse-r17.blogspot.com www.studymaterialz.in MCQ TIPS Read a multi-choice question in its entirety before glancing over the answer options. Students often think they know what a question is asking before reading it and jump straight to the most logical answer. This is a big mistake and can cost you dearly on multiple-choice exams. Read each question thoroughly before reviewing answer options. Downloaded from: https://cse-r17.blogspot.com www.studymaterialz.in MCQ TIPS Read every answer option prior to choosing a final answer. This may seem like a no brainer to some, but it is a common mistake students make. As we pointed out in the previous section, there is usually a best answer to every multiple-choice question. If you quickly assume you know the correct answer, without first reading every answer option, you may end up not selecting the best answer. Downloaded from: https://cse-r17.blogspot.com www.studymaterialz.in MCQ TIPS After reading a question, answer it in your mind before reviewing the answer options. This will help prevent you from talking yourself out of the correct answer. Eliminate answer options which you're 100 percent sure are incorrect before selecting the answer you believe is correct. Even when you believe you know the right answer, first eliminating those answers you know are incorrect will ensure your answer choice is the correct choice. Downloaded from: https://cse-r17.blogspot.com www.studymaterialz.in It is best to stick with the answer you first chose after reading the question. It is usually counterproductive to constantly second guess yourself and change your answer. However, this doesn't mean your first answer choice is necessarily the correct answer choice. While multiple choice tests aren't usually intentionally designed to trick or confuse students, they are designed to test students' knowledge and ability. To this end, the answer options provided will often include the most common wrong answer among the choices or answers that seem logical but are ultimately incorrect, or the best answer. Downloaded from: https://cse-r17.blogspot.com www.studymaterialz.in MCQ TIPS When there are seemingly two correct answers. When two answers are correct in a multiple choice question with an "All of the above" option, then it's probably the correct choice.
