Elimination Techniques for MCQs: Narrowing down options
🚀 Elimination techniques for multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are strategies used to narrow down the possible answers to a question by systematically removing incorrect options. This is particularly useful in exams like the JNVST, where time is limited, and accuracy is crucial. By eliminating options that are clearly wrong, students can increase their chances of selecting the correct answer from the remaining choices.
Examples💡
Imagine you are at a local market and need to buy fruits. You have four options: apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes. You know you don't like grapes and apples are too expensive. By eliminating these two options, you are left with bananas and oranges, making it easier to choose.
Suppose you are solving a math problem where the options are 10, 20, 30, and 40. You know the answer must be less than 25. By eliminating 30 and 40, you narrow your choices to 10 and 20, simplifying your decision.
Common Mistakes to Avoid⚠️
- Not reading all the options before starting to eliminate, which might lead to missing the correct answer.
- Eliminating options based on assumptions rather than facts given in the question.
- Rushing through the elimination process and making careless mistakes.
