Description 
These are traditional multiple-choice questions with five answer choices, of which you must select 
one. 
Tips for Answering 
•
Read 
all
the answer choices before making your selection, even if you think you know the
correct answer in advance.
•
The correct answer is the one that most accurately and most completely answers the
question posed; be careful not to be misled by answer choices that are only partially true or
that only partially answer the question. Also, be careful not to pick an answer choice simply
because it is a true statement.
•
When the question asks about the meaning of a word in the passage, be sure the answer
choice you select correctly represents the way the word is being used in the passage. Many
words have different meanings when used in different contexts.

 Select One or More Answer Choices 
Description
 
These questions provide three answer choices and ask you to select all that are correct; one, two or 
all three of the answer choices may be correct. To gain credit for these questions, you must select 
all the correct answers, and only those; there is no credit for partially correct answers. 
Tips for Answering 
•
Evaluate each answer choice separately on its own merits; when evaluating one answer
choice, do not take the others into account.
•
A correct answer choice accurately and completely answers the question posed; be careful
not to be misled by answer choices that are only partially true or that only partially answer
the question. Also, be careful not to pick an answer choice simply because it is a
true statement.
•
Do not be disturbed if you think all three answer choices are correct, since questions of this
type can have up to three correct answer choices.
