Read the question before you look at the answer.
Come up with the answer in your head before looking at the
possible answers, this way the choices given on the test won’t throw
you off or trick you.
Eliminate answers you know are not right.
Read all the answers before choosing your answer.
If there is no penalty for guessing, always take an educated guess
and select an answer.
Don’t keep changing your answer, usually your first choice is the
right one, unless you miss-read the question.
A positive choice is more likely to be true than a negative one.
