Mastering Multiple Choice Questions: Strategies for Success in Science Exams

Tackling multiple choice problems can be daunting, especially in science. Follow these effective steps to simplify the process: First, read the entire question and all answer choices carefully. Next, stay calm, even if you feel unsure about the content. Restate the question in your own words to clarify its meaning. Then, eliminate options that seem incorrect or use definitive terms like "always" or "never." Finally, ensure you mark your answers neatly. Practice with sample questions to build confidence and improve your score!

  1. How to Tackle “Simple” Multiple Choice Problems A, B, C, D…it’s all the same to me! HELP!

  2. A Sample Question… What is the total number of atoms represented in the formula CuSO4∙ 5H2O? • 8 • 13 • 21 • 27

  3. Step #1 Read the entire question and all possible answers (even if you think the first one listed is right ).

  4. Step #2 Chill, even if you… Don’t know the right answer Don’t know what the words mean

  5. Step #3 Restate the question in your own words. What is the question really asking?

  6. Step #4 Eliminate answers that… • don’t make sense • include words like “always” or “never” • are partially false

  7. Step #5 Mark neatly on scantron forms!

  8. Summary • Read • Chill • Restate • Eliminate • Mark neatly

  9. Let’s try it! A student investigated the physical and chemical properties of a sample of unknown gas and then investigated the gas. Which statement represents a conclusion rather than an experimental observation? • The gas is colorless • The gas is carbon dioxide • When gas is bubbled in limewater, the liquid becomes cloudy • When placed in the gas, a flaming flint stops burning

  10. Sample 2 The number of cycles per unit time of a wave is… • Wave velocity • Frequency • Wavelength • Altitude

  11. Sample 3 The following set of procedures was used by a student to determine the heat of solution of NaOH, • Read the original temperature of the water • Read the final temperature of the water • Pour the water into a beaker • Stir the mixture • Add the sodium hydroxide What is the correct order of procedures for making this determination? • a-c-e-b-d • e-d-c-a-b • c-a-e-d-b • c-e-d-a-b

  12. Sample 4 All atoms of the same element have the same… • Atomic mass • Number of neutrons • Atomic number • Mass number

  13. Sample 5 The plate boundary responsible for creating mountains is… • Divergent • Convergent • Transform
