Mult. Choice Tips A few reminders/new ideas to keep in your back pocket

M. C. test section: FYIs – Focus on your strengths. If it works for you, do poetry first (or prose) to get in the groove of things – That said, know that sometimes the questions make more sense sequentially • Example: Question 8 may define a term that question 46 uses. If you started with the last section first, then you are at a detriment with this question… – Interact with the text: write, underline, box it in… – If you don’t know, skip it and come back or make an educated guess. Then, don’t dwell on it. – Always read all answer options—sometimes clues are embedded contextually in the answers themselves – If your answer to a current question contradicts your answer to a previous question, feel free to go back and reevaluate your answer to the prior question – Always remember, ALL parts of the selected answer must be correct in order for it to be the right answer

M. C. test section: Tips – Use the process of elimination 1. Read all five options. 2. If no answer is obviously correct, then (a) eliminate those that are obviously wrong, (b) overly narrow or too broad, (c) illogical, or (d) cancel out another option 3. If still left with two possibilities, look again at the question. If it’s looking for general information, choose the option that is more general. If it seeks precise detail, choose the choice that is more specific.

M. C. test section: Tips – Try substitution/fill in the blank 1. Rephrase the question, leaving a blank where the answer should go 2. Use each of the provided choices to fill in the blank until you find the best fit – And/or you can consider the context 1. If asked to return to a specific line/section, keep in mind the whole context of the poem/excerpt 2. Commonly, reviewing the few lines before and after the specific line/section is all you need, and then Ta-dah!
