Tips for Multiple Choice Success

  • Read every question carefully, watch for key words like "not" or "except".

  • Eliminate obviously wrong answers first to improve your odds.

  • If stuck, make an educated guess; never leave a question blank on the AP exam.

  • Watch out for distractors—answers that seem right but aren't supported by data.

Stay calm and pace yourself to finish all questions!

Examples

  • Use process of elimination to narrow choices when two answers seem similar.

  • Double-check that you answered what the question actually asks.
