Strategies+for+Multiple-Choice

1 Identify easy questions and answer them first. Then do medium. Finally, work with hard questions and spend more time with them. Try to get as many as you can right, but don't worry if you don't know the answers or can't answer some. 2. Eliminate wrong answers and take your best guess. Don't blindly guess. 3. Review basic literary terminology. Many websites or our dictionary can help. 4. Remember that if it's partially wrong (even a little) it's wrong. Eliminate that answer. 5. Manage your time. YOU HAVE ABOUT 1 MINUTE PER QUESTION OR ABOUT 15 MINUTES PER PASSAGE OR POEM. Attack the passages or poems that you seem to get (this can be done by quickly scanning them). 6. Attack the poems and passages. Mark them up. Remember that it's about reading and you all can do that. 7. Work in the concrete. What does the passage or poem say. 8. YOU CAN SKIP A PASSAGE OR POEM AND STILL DO WELL! 9. Shoot for 35. 10. Be confident. Envision yourself doing well.
 * For some, it also helps to read poems quietly aloud.
