Mastering Multiple-Choice Questions

Tactics for Tackling MCQs

Multiple-choice questions can be tricky, but with the right strategy, you can ace them! Read each question carefully, eliminate obviously wrong answers, and watch for tricky wording. Pace yourself and make educated guesses if needed—never leave a question blank.

Tips

  • Read all answer choices before selecting one
  • Look for keywords and qualifiers like 'always' or 'except'
  • Flag challenging questions to revisit if you have time

Examples

  • Use process of elimination on unfamiliar questions to improve your odds.

  • Double-check for 'not' or 'except' in the question stem before answering.
