Study Strategies

## Narrowing Down Your Choices If you’re not sure of the answer, eliminate options you know are wrong. This increases your chances of picking the right one. - Cross out obviously incorrect choices first. - Compare the remaining answers and choose the best fit. Using elimination is a powerful strategy, especially when you’re stuck.

Examples

  • You remove two answers that don’t match the passage and guess between the last two.
  • You cross out options that contradict information in the text.
