Multiple-Choice Strategies

1. Read ALL of the choices before choosing an answer
2. If they refer you to a specific line, focus on that line, but read a line or two before and after
3. Look for words such as IMPLY or IMPLIES--this means the answer is not in the text itself, you have to think about the answer based on the text
4. Pay attention to questions with numbers/dates
5. Pay attention to cause and effect
6. Use process of elimination for questions you don't understand--especially vocabulary
7.GO BACK AND DOUBLE-CHECK ALL MULTIPLE CHOICE ANSWERS BEFORE YOU TURN IN THE EXAM
