Train Students to Eliminate Choices on Difficult Questions Print this page Save this page
Teach students strategies for reducing the number of answer choices on test questions. Explain to students that reducing the total number of potentially correct answers on a question increases their odds of success. Discuss how to eliminate choices that could not possibly be correct. Teach students to be aware of the implications of answers that contain superlatives, such as none, never, all, more, always, and only. Students should understand that these terms usually indicate undisputed facts.
