TIPS FOR MCQ EXAMINATION ?By

Sherif Badrawy

During reading the Question ?

Read the question before you look at the answer.

think of an answer before you see your choices-->Read the choices to see if your answer is there. If so, it is probably right.( Read the other answers quickly to be certain)

If my answer in mind is not one of the choices,or can't make an answer ?

read all the choices carefully and start to eliminate choices.

narrowed my choices to two, what to do next ?

try each answer with the question to see if they both make sense. Sometimes you'll find a hidden clue, like a subject/verb agreement that gives it away.

What's not to do after answering ?

Don't second-guess yourself. If you make an educated guess the first time around, don't go back and start changing your answers around.

i.e.Don't keep on changing your answer, usually your first choice is the right one, unless you misread the question

What If all else fails, I can't make a choice ?

choose B or C! A few studies show that those answers are correct at a slightly higher rate than A or D.

A positive choice is more likely to be true than a negative one.

Usually the correct answer is the choice with the most information.
