So…
You want some tips on multiple choice questions?
First of all, YES. Multiple Choice questions are HARD and time-consuming. All we have to do is to choose just one answer- but why is this so HARD???
If you are stressed, and ended up on my page, it’s totally normal. Think about it … 4-5 choices look similar, they all look like answers… time is ticking… AHH!
English tests play around with their wordings, and it gets tricky. How you are feeling right now is totally normal. It’s okay. I’ll tell you ONE tip.
NEVER choose the right answer, but cross out the most wrong answers first.
What that means is that students often read the question, and reads the answers multiple times trying to choose the right answer, and this not only wastes time, but also ends up choosing the wrong answer anyway. But like I said, all the answers are going to look similar, and it gets confusing. YOU MUST looking for THE MOST WRONG answer and cross it out to narrow down your answer. When you narrow it down to two choices, you pick the one that has the higher chance of being an answer. It’s really hard to be 100% sure with your choice, so always go for 80%. REMEMBER 80%! If you are only 80% sure, that’s good enough. Pick that answer and MOVE ON!
