Study Strategies
## 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.
