Eliminating Wrong Answers

Narrow Down Your Choices

If you’re not sure of the exact answer, start by eliminating choices you know are wrong. Cross out answers that don’t make sense or don’t fit the question’s requirements. This boosts your odds, even if you have to guess!

When to Use It

  • Multiple-choice questions
  • Problems with extreme or illogical answer choices

Pro Tip

Look out for answers that are too large, too small, or the wrong sign.

Examples

  • Cross out negative answers if only positive values make sense.

  • Eliminate choices that don't match the units in the problem.
