Process of Elimination

Outsmarting Tricky Questions

If you’re not sure about the answer, don’t panic! Use the process of elimination to cross out choices you know are wrong. This boosts your odds of picking the right one—even if you have to guess.

How to Use This Strategy

  • Read every answer choice carefully.
  • Cross out answers that don’t fit the question or the sentence.
  • Choose from the remaining options.

Why This Works

Sometimes, it’s easier to spot wrong answers than to pick the right one right away. This strategy helps you stay calm and focused.

Examples

  • Eliminating answers that are opposite in meaning to the sentence’s clue.

  • Crossing off words that don’t fit grammatically in the blank.
