Practice Multiple Choice Test Feedback: Question 4

You notice that your two hour exam is composed entirely of multiple choice questions. The best way to organize your time is to

(a) calculate how much time you can spend on average for each question, answer the easy ones, then spend more time on the difficult ones until you run out of time, then quickly guess the answers to the ones you still haven't done before you hand in the exam
(b) read ALL of the stem and EVERY alternative, eliminating any obviously incorrect answers
(c) mark questions with negatives, superlatives, and qualifiers, then grammatically break down difficult questions
(d) take a few minutes to relax by taking a few deep breaths and getting focused

Always check the context. Although (b),(c), and (d) are correct, they have nothing to do with managing your time. Notice also that the correct answer is longer, because it is more detailed.

Level of learning: Knowledge. Although this looks like an application question, it has been taken directly from the handout.
