THE BIG PICTURE
The next time your teacher announces that a test or quiz will be multiple choice, you may still be relieved that it’s not an essay test, but don’t kid yourself that it’ll be easier. Use these strategies to do your best: • Identify the information that will be on the test. • Study holistically. • Turn your textbook information and class notes into questions and answers including right, wrong, and slightly inaccurate choices. • In a decision dilemma, use test-taking strategies to eliminate distractors and find the best answer.
• On true/false tests, be certain each segment is true before you circle T. • When you take a multiple choice test on a scannable answer form, avoid disaster by practicing safe marking techniques. Remember, you’re a lean, mean multiple choice test-taking machine! PRODUCT PREVIEW
