The Thrive Guide 2024: Master the Art of Multiple Choice Tests
It’s a myth that you can’t study for multiple choice exams. Not only can you study for them, but you can learn the art of answering these kinds of questions. Here are the elements of that art.
- Don’t forget the bubble sheet!
Bring a ruler or a blank piece of paper to ensure you are filling out the right answer on the right line on the machine-readable bubble sheet.
“You can mark your answers on the test booklet, but remember to go fill the sheet in after,” said Johnny Tong, an Instructional Support Assistant with the Department of Economics who marks tests and exams like these. “And, even if you have no idea what is right or wrong, don’t leave answers blank! No points get taken off for wrong answers on multiple choice tests for ECO101 or 102. Lucky guesses can be worth a few extra points.”
Also, don’t forget to put your name and student number on the bubble sheet before you include it with the exam booklet in case they get separated.
