Baldo: I finally figured out the secret to taking tests. Gracie: What? Studying hard? Keeping good notes? A study group? Baldo: No. Baldo: Always go with your first guess.
Study found that people who studied for a test did well but 2 weeks later when tested on the same material did poorly. Only stayed in short term memory.
Actually Baldo is correct; when in doubt, your first guess will probably be the correct one. The longer you think about it, you will get it wrong. Of course, it’s a lot better to actually study for the test.
A good method for Muliple Choice test is to cover the answers, read the question, and then answers it. Check your answer against the provided choices. If your answer is there it has a high probability of being right. Answer the questions you know first, then go back and answer the tougher ones. If still unsure of the correct answer, dive on Charlie ( C ). As a Navy Test Validater I was told the answer C had a 66% chance of being the right answer.
If you have no idea of what the answer is then Dive on Charlie. In a 100-150 question test there will be generally 2-4 questions that someone would not even be able to discern the answer from the choices, in that instance 66% doesn’t look that bad. If someone has no clue to any answer on the test, then perhaps they shouldn’t be even taking the test.

Of course, learning the material for the sake of learning (rather than just for test taking) is another option.
