MULTIPLE CHOICE: Directions: Please take time to read.

i. Read the entire question. Read a multi-choice question in its entirety before
glancing over the answer options.
ii. Answer it in your mind first. After reading a question, answer it in your
mind before reviewing the answer options. This will help prevent you from
talking yourself out of the correct answer.
iii. Eliminate wrong answers. Eliminate answer options that you're 100
percent sure are incorrect before selecting the answer you believe is correct. Even
when you think you know the right answer, eliminating those answers you
know are incorrect will ensure your answer is correct.
iv. Select the best answer. It's essential to select the best answer to the question,
not just the one that seems correct. Many answers will often seem accurate,
but there is typically the best answer.
v. If you are reading this part of the directions, write one word that best describes
practical research at the lower right-hand corner at the back of your answer
sheet for five additional points.
vi. It's usually best to stick with your first choice—but not always.
Sticking to the answer you first chose after reading the question is
best. It is generally counterproductive to constantly second-guess yourself and
change your answer. However, this doesn't mean your first answer choice is
necessarily correct.
vii. When there are seemingly two correct answers. It's probably the correct
choice when two answers are accurate in a multiple-choice question with an
"All of the above" option.
