2. Most of the questions are based on the simple fact
3. Presentation of answer are not required

Difficult things about multiple choice tests:
1. More number of questions requires more information required to perform well
2. Every question requires more specific information
3. Question pattern are such that one can fall for wrong answer
4. More number of ambiguous question to confuse student
Rules of taking the Test:
1. Read the direction carefully before starting the exam , be clear about marks per question, negative marks etc
2. READ the questions AND answer carefully , answer the fact based question first
3. After reading the question try to figure out the answer before matching with the given options
4. Answer the question for which you are confident , mark the unanswered question , then try those question which requires little
thought and in the last one should try the tough ones
5. Be extra careful for the question which has answer option like “all of the above “and ”None of the above”
Strategies to answer difficult question:
1. Eliminate the option which you know to be incorrect
2. Give every answer option to “true false test “ to reach the best answer option
3. Look for grammatical clues. If the question ends with the indefinite article "an," for example then answer start with vowel
4. The longest response is often the correct one, because the instructor tends to load it with qualifying adjectives or phrases
