Having trouble staying on top of your assignments? The library's Study Skills guide will help you learn techniques for more effective study sessions and managing your time.

Multiple Choice Questions

  • Do not read all the questions through first. You will waste much less time if you just read each question as you come to it.
  • Read all the alternatives. The first answer may be a good answer but it may not be the best answer.
  • If you do not know the answer, eliminate those that are definitely wrong and then select your best guess.
  • Do not spend long working out the answer. Keep in mind how much the question is worth.
  • Do not change answers for questions you have already completed unless you can see an obvious mistake. In most cases your first choice is more likely to be correct.
