Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eliminating answers known to be incorrect is a common and effective test-taking strategy. It helps students narrow down their choices and increases the likelihood of selecting the correct answer from the remaining options. Modifying the test, reducing the number of answer possibilities, changing the directions, or reducing the number of questions are generally not strategies available to students during a test; these are decisions made by educators or test designers prior to the test.
