Study Strategies

## Smart Strategies for Multiple Choice If you’re not sure of an answer, use elimination to rule out choices you know are wrong. This increases your chances of guessing correctly. - Cross out obviously incorrect answers. - If you’re stuck, make your best guess—there’s no penalty for guessing on the HSPT! - Trust your instincts and don’t overthink. Using these techniques can help you maximize your score.

Examples

  • Eliminating two out of four answer choices before guessing.
  • Guessing quickly when time is running out, instead of leaving a question blank.
