Part One: Chapter Two

Multiple Choice Strategies
~ Don't randomly guess!!
~ If you eliminate one answer from each question you have a better chance of getting that question correct.
~ If you guess randomly you lose nothing but gain nothing.
~ If you begin to eliminate just one wrong answer on the test you begin to gain points.

Guess and Go 
~ Guessing helps to lower your score because it helps you to save time.
~Do all the work you can eliminate the wrong answers, take a smart guess.

Or Don't
~Rushing through the test is not the goal, don't focus on finishing the test.
~ Work accurately and efficiently.
~ Do the questions you can correctly so that you can get a raw score.

Finishing is Not the Goal
~ don't zip through questions so quickly that you make a bunch of careless mistakes or choose the wrong answers on haphazard guessing.

Process of Elimination
~ Four out of five answers are wrong. 
~If you can't eliminate any answers skip the question.
~ Mark the questions you skip so you can come back to them if you have time.
 
How to Crack the Multiple Choice Questions
~ Read the question and put it into your own words
~ Answer it in your own words.
~ Use what you know to eliminate the wrong answers, or the process of elimination.
~Guess and Go, make an educated guess between your remaining answers.
