Rule of Elimination


You always find four Answer options with the question. If your answer is not one of the choices, then read all the choices carefully and start to eliminate choices. Then comes the right option to select. This is the Rule of Elimination. Cross out any answers that are obviously wrong or incorrect. You need to narrow your choices to three, two, then one and tally the option with the question to see if it makes the right sense. Sometimes you'll find a hidden clue, like a subject / verb agreement that gives it away.

If you are faced with "all of the above" and "none of the above" options then they tend to take up too much time. If you are not sure about the right option, best strategy is that you leave all of them blank and go back to them afterwards. These questions have an element of logic to them. You may find that they require a little extra concentration, mark these questions so that you can easily come back and try them again.
