Compare and contrast the strategies for answering multiple-choice and true/false questions.

Answers will vary but should include the following points. When responding to multiple-choice and true/false questions, be suspicious of words such as always, never, and only; stems or answer choices containing these words tend to be incorrect. For multiple-choice questions, you should predict the answer before reading the answer choices, and then choose the answer that best matches your prediction. If you are either confused by or unprepared to answer a specific multiple-choice question, you should choose the most comprehensive answer choice, especially if there is no penalty for guessing. For true/false questions, less definite terms, such as often or frequently, in a statement suggest that the statement may be true. Make sure to read through the entire exam to see if information on one question will help answer another. Do not doubt your answers just because of the sequence of true or false statements.
