5 rules for acing multiple choice tests

Since March means midterms for many students, it’s a good time to review multiple choice test-taking strategies. Of course, these strategies are not intended to replace studying! Below are five strategies to use, as suggested by Thomas Frank, The College Info Geek. To get bonus tips and learn more about why each strategy works, watch the video in Related Links.

1. Skim the test and answer any questions that stand out as easy to answer.
2. If you are stuck on a question, move on and come back to it later.
3. Read each question twice.
4. Double check your answers when you get to the end of each test page versus waiting until you are finished with the whole test.
5. If you can’t recall the answer to a question, try visualizing the room where you studied. Sometimes, envisioning where you learned the information improves your ability to cue your memory to retrieve the information eluding you.
