All we have to do is to distinguish the correct answer from the distracters.  \nHowever, answering multiple choice exams are not as easy or straightforward as we like them to be, especially if we're dealing with crucial exams like the UPCAT.  \nThe following tips are a perfect supplement to your hard-earned stocked knowledge and can maximize your success in answering any multiple-choice exam.  \nBe wary of tricks and traps.  \nSometimes they're easy to identify but the more subtle ones are what you should watch out for. Don't overanalyze but never trust questions that are too easy either.  \nRemember, the goal of test makers is to gauge your analytical skills in all subtests. When answering language proficiency exams, for instance, the following traps may lead you to the path of failure if you're not careful:  \na. Violation of the rule of \"parallel structures.\"  \nExample: \"Play, eat, and sleeping--these are what my pet dog usually does all day.\"  \nExplanation: Parallel structures are used to ensure clarity of statements. According to this principle, words and phrases in a sentence should be consistent in terms of structure and tense.  \nThe example sentence above violates the rule of parallel structures. The first two verbs--play and eat--are in present tense, while the last one--sleeping--is a verb that acts as a noun, otherwise known as a gerund.  \nTo correct the sentence, the gerund should be replaced with a verb form consistent with the other two words, hence:  \n\"Play, eat, and sleep--these are what my pet dog usually does all day.\"  \nb. Insertion of distracting phrase or clause that clouds subjectverb agreement.  \nExample: \"Many politicians, in their desire to win an election, makes grandiose promises to voters.\"  \nExplanation: Always focus on two things: the subject and the verb. Everything else is secondary. In the above example, the subject is\"politicians\" which is in plural form so the verb must also be plural.  \nHence, the correct answer should be \"make\" instead of \"makes.\"  \nc. Use of inverted sentence structure.  \nExample: \"In the middle of the forest stands the giant trees considered oldest in the region.\"  \nExplanation: Inverted sentences have verbs that come before the subjects instead of the other way around. It's easy to assume there's nothing wrong with this sentence if you don't look closely.  \nIn the sentence above, for example, the verb \"stands\" describe the subject \"trees,\" not the \"forest.\" Therefore, it should be rewritten as:  \n\"In the middle of the forest stand the giant trees considered oldest in the region.\"  \nd. Misplaced modifiers.  \nExample: \"Eagerly awaiting her birthday, Mary's presents were all picked up and admired by Mary many times throughout the course of the day.\"  \nExplanation: Modifiers are words that add details or change the meaning of another wo","cbCailiKcBegmyxv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailiKcBegmyxv","pdf",1324049,235,"English","# How to Answer Multiple Choice Questions Like A Pro\n# Language Proficiency\n# Science\n# Mathematics\n# Reading Comprehension\n# Language Answer Key\n# Science Answer Key\n# Mathematics Answer Key\n# Reading Answer Key","[{\"question\":\"How should you approach multiple-choice questions in the UPCAT?\",\"answer\":\"Use a trap-aware mindset, avoid overanalyzing simple items, and apply the process of elimination to reduce choices to two before deciding.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the book say about qualifiers in answer choices?\",\"answer\":\"Qualifiers can be absolute or conditional and may flip an option from correct to incorrect.
