When taking your electrical exam, you might encounter multiple-choice questions that test your knowledge of key theory-related concepts and terms commonly used in the field. Here are some helpful tips that can help you answer these questions effectively.
Read the question carefully and look for key words that indicate what the question is asking for.
For example, if the question asks you to “select the best answer”, you need to compare and evaluate the options and choose the most appropriate answer. If the question asks you to “select all that apply”, you’ll need to check each option and mark all the correct choices.
Eliminate the options that are clearly wrong or irrelevant.
This will help you narrow down your answer choices and focus on the ones that are more likely to be correct. For example, if the question is about series circuits, you can eliminate any option that refers to parallel circuits.
Use your prior knowledge and common sense to eliminate or confirm options.
Use what you already know or what makes sense to rule out or support an answer choice. For example, if the question is about electrical safety, you can eliminate any option that suggests doing something dangerous or illegal.
Look for clues in the question that might help you find the correct answer.
Sometimes, the question or the answer choice options might contain hints or keywords that point to the right answer. For example, if the question is about electrical symbols, you can look for options that match the symbols in the question.
If you are unsure about an option, mark it and move on to the next question.
You can always come back to it later if you have time. Don’t spend too much time on one question and risk running out of time before you’re able to get to the questions you could have answered correctly.
