Question

How do I answer multiple choice questions?

Community Answer

Cancel out the options that either are completely absurd or you know are false. Quickly scan the remainder, and think of the key words connecting them to your notes. Use diagrams and information given to help, and read the question again.

Question

How do you know when the answer you gave is wrong, when in doubt?

Community Answer

You don't. The article point means that you should simply try harder to think ,and cross out any wrong answers in the question, so as to narrow it down.

Question

How do I guess?

Community Answer

Firstly, eliminate the option that you're sure is least likely. Then evaluate the other options and see if you can narrow it down further.

Question

How can I guess correctly if I have no idea about the question and the answers?

Community Answer

Try to eliminate anything that you think is wrong. If you can eliminate two choices out of four, you've just doubled your chance of getting it right. Beyond that, just try to learn the material.

Question

How can I stop second guessing after choosing?

Community Answer

Always go with your first gut feeling. If you think the answer is letter A at first but then circle B, erase it and circle letter A. Stick with your first choices unless you are really sure that there is a good reason to change.
