  13. Preparing to Practice How to Handle Multiple Choice

  14. Tips for Answering Multiple Choice Questions • Read the questions before you do the reading. 2. Highlight and underline any key words in the question. 3. Read through the passage, looking for the key words that you highlighted or underlined in your questions. 4. Try answering the multiple choice questions! Use these strategies: • Re-read the question. • Cover the choices and think about what you would give as an answer. • Look at the choices given (make sure you look at all the answers before making your final choice). • If the question asks you something that you’re not sure about see if there are any answers you can cross out (you know that they’re wrong). • Mark any questions that you’re not sure about and finish the rest of the booklet. After you have tried the whole booklet, go back to the questions that you marked and guess! You have a 1 in 4 shot of it being right– never leave an answer blank!

  15. Why Multiple Choice Questions? • To test your knowledge of writing conventions. • To test your understanding of a text.
