3.9Question type: multiple choice

One question, three or four options. Slower than other types, so do not start with these.

The method

1. 1.Read the stem and cover the options with your hand. Answer the question from the text in your own words first.
2. 2.Now uncover the options and find the one that matches what you said.
3. 3.Eliminate actively. Cross out an option the moment you can prove it wrong.
4. 4.Be suspicious of an option that repeats the exact words of the text. It is usually a distractor.
5. 5.Never choose an option because it is true in the real world. Choose it because this text says it.
