Understanding the MCQ Format

How to Guess MCQ Correctly?

How to Apply MCQ Guessing Strategies Effectively?

• Read the Question Carefully: Do not rush to answer the question before you have read it carefully and understood what it wants you to do. If a student misunderstands a specific question they are likely to guess wrong.
• Eliminate Clearly Incorrect Options: Whittle down the options and eliminate the choices that are perceived as wrong or irrelevant. This helps in eliminating what you have to choose from to make the best decision.
• Apply Relevant Guessing Strategies: In the process of guessing, depending on the nature of the question and the offered options, the best strategy must be used to eliminate as many options as possible.
• Use the Process of Elimination: If you are still confused, try using what is left as the answer after crossing out the options that cannot be right.
• Manage Time Wisely: Don’t forget to schedule time well. Focus on questions that you know you can answer and dedicate any remaining time that you have to guess the questions that may be difficult.

Guessing MCQ Tricks for Exams with Negative Marking

• Eliminate Incorrect Options: First, as in previous problems, one should cross out the choices that are unquestionably incorrect.
• Apply Logical Reasoning: If you are not sure, make an educated guess using the information you have gathered in your chosen subject and think through the logical conclusion as to what is the correct answer.
• Avoid Guessing if Unsure: If a student has no proper grounds to lean on and genuinely cannot distinguish between two possible answers, it is rather wise not to answer than to guess and consequently lose points.

Developing a Mindset to Guess MCQ Correctly

• Embrace Uncertainty: Accept the fact that it is normal not to know much for the simple reason that it is an exam and exams have questions that you may not have come across before. Games of guessing should not be looked at as one’s shortcomings or a sign of weakness but rather a chance for one to apply knowledge and skills.
• Practice Consistently: The more frequently you encounter sample MCQ questions and practice varied guessing techniques, the more of an expert you will become at this method.
• Stay Calm and Focused: Pressure can increase the likelihood of making outright guess work that is likely to see the test taker make random choices. Be relaxed and concentrate fully throughout the test to get the best results with your guessing strategies.
• Combine Guessing with Logical Reasoning: Using guess as the only option is considered wrong. Combine it with your knowledge of the subject matter and analytical ability in order to optimise your performance.
• Learn from Mistakes: Devise a plan for reviewing your guessing after the exam and find out the potential ways to enhance it. You can then apply this information in order to improve your tactics for subsequent tests.

Solve MCQ through Contextual Cues

How to Memorise MCQs?

• Use active and engaging ways to memorise multiple choice questions. First break the questions down into pieces that can be easily handled and understood.
• Instead of rote memorization, work on understanding core concepts behind each question and so on. Suppose a question relates to the reasons behind World War I, you’ll summarize the big events that brought the war.
• Write down each question and answer pair as flashcards. Ask the question on one side and write the answer on the other. This gives you a quick test on your knowledge. Say, "What is the capital of France?" Reverse the flashcard and write "Paris."
• You can also use the mnemonic device to enhance memory. Make acronyms or memorable phrases from the answers. To remember that Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars are terrestrial planets, make a sentence like: My Very Educated Mother. The idea here is to make that information more relatable and easier to get your hands on.
• Include visualising techniques. Suppose that each question is a character and each answer is an action it takes. As an example, what if a character named "Mercury" races by "Venus" and "Earth"? Using this narrative approach, cements the correct answers in your memory.
• Review questions at increasing intervals in order to practice spaced repetition. Today, study a set of questions, revisit in two days, revisit again in a week. This method makes memory retention over time.
• Take practice quizzes like a memory enhancing game. You could test your knowledge in a playful way using online platforms such as Quizlet, Kahoot. It also builds confidence, and helps reinforce learning.
• Group similar questions together when you are studying. Take, for instance, all geography-related questions and cluster them in one session and all history-related questions in another. It is this categorization that will help you organise your thoughts, plus it is more likely to help you recall later because of the sensory details included.
• Consider finally getting enough sleep before exams. Memory consolidation is dependent on sleep. Memorise your flashcards just before bed to improve retention when you sleep.
