You know you are desperate when you've given up studying and are watching this.

#1 tip Don't circle the wrong one
-
Maths question's options are like a) 5/3 b) -5/3 c) 3/5 d) -3/5
-
Literally no one : Me: hmm.. I haven’t chose C in a while....
-
This is basically me: Tip #1 ... have a strong memory. Tip #2 ... study and memorize everything. Tip#3 ... forget everything at the day of the exam.
-
That feeling when the right answer comes into ur mind after spending 10 minutes for that question
-
This is me on literally every MCQ test: Choose option A Have doubts Switch to option C Results come out: Option A ✅ Option C ❌
-
My tip is to NEVER 2ND GUESS, because your 2nd always the wrong guess.
-
PRO TIP: I personally eliminate 2 answers then play eeny meeny miny moe. I did this on my AP human geo finial yesterday and got a 92% with no other studying.
-
Once on 7th grade a teacher put all "D" (all of the above) no one passed
-
Me on test day: when in doubt circle C My final test answers: every answer is C
-
21.)D 22.)D 23.)D Me: hmmm...something's wrong here

Bonus tip! Some multiple choice questions are worded so that the answer will complete the question's sentence. In these cases, one trick that can potentially help you narrow down your options is to look for answers that make the sentence grammatically correct. Here's an example. Charles Lindbergh was an: A) Truck driver B) Aviator C) Surgeon D) Ninja Only "Aviator" makes the sentence grammatically correct. This won't always happen, but it's something to look for.

Most of the time when I go back to check over questions the ones that I change are wrong. And I regret not just going with my gut. Am I the only one?

I have a tip: When you have multiple choice questions, always cover the answers when reading the question, so then an idea pops into your mind. Then, uncover the answer choices and see which one suits your answer. Then look to see if any answer choice is better than that. Then realize that your answer was wrong in the first place. Sad.

Me: fails test F- Me: Watches video Me:*Takes test again* Me: Gets F+ Me: I learned something
-
Good tip- If 2 answers are exact opposites there's a high chance it's one of those. EX. A) John did it B) John did not do it C) bob did it D) sally did not do it. Answer is either A or B

So you're telling me that Yoda was never a president of the United States?!

These were all the tips in this video 👇 1 read all the questions before actually working them out one by one You can also answer all of the hard question 1st 2 if you are on a hard question and cannot work it out go on to an easier question and work that and come back bc your brain will still be working out that question in the background 3 reread each question twice before answering it so you don’t misread anything and not realize any mistakes 4 check all your answers after you finish the PAGE not the whole test so your not intimidated by the number of questions you have to check 5 if there is a question that you just can’t remember the answer to but it’s at the tip of your thumb and you know it but you just can’t remember what the answer was, then just remember the room you were in when you learnt that and you are more likely to remember the answer or conversation Your welcome. Hope this helped!🥰
