Multiple Choice Test Taking Tips
While doing the multiple answers you may get confused what to do first and do the next. Following are some useful tips to do the multiple choice questions:
- Read the question carefully before you look at the answers;
- Come up with the answer in your mind before looking at the possible answers. This way the choices given on the test will not throw you off or trick you;
- Eliminate the answers you know are wrong, and select the right option.
Following are also important TIPS:
- Read all the choices before choosing your answer;
- As there is no negative marking, always take an smart guess and select an answer. Do not leave any question unanswered. Luck favours the brave;
- Do not keep on changing your answer, usually your first choice is the right one, unless you misinterpret the question;
- When you find one of the options / statements is false, never choose "All of the above" as your answer;
- When you are sure that one of the options / statements is true do not choose "None of the above" as your answer;
- When you find a question having at least two correct options / statements, then choose "All of the above" which is most possibly the answer;
Remember -
- A positive choice is more likely to be true than a negative one;
- Usually the correct answer carries the more information among the choices and you can make a guess with it.
Do you have a GOAL ?
Passing UGC's National Eligibility Test is very easy when you know how. Exam success is not for the clever and hard-working. Success comes as much from your attitude to exam, the way you approach the preparation and some simple techniques to use.
What is your DREAM? Do you have a GOAL? Are these two same? A GOAL is a DREAM with a deadline. If you are SMART enough to have a SMART (S=Specific; M=Measurable; A=Achievable; R=Realistic; T=Time-bound) ) Goal, you can become successful. When do you want to pass the exam? Within 1 year, 2 years, 3 years? It will determine your type and plan of preparation.
So, STICK TO YOUR PLAN! It is very easy to put a plan but not very easy to stick to it. Hundreds of things will distract you every day and you will find yourself late. You have to take control of your time. Look always to the deadline. Visualize the SUCCESS.
