2.  '''Look for the answer choice that is the best fit to the question'''.  The question is like a "lock" or "key hole," and you are looking for the answer (or the "key") that is the best fit.  Matching the verb or concept behind the question with the best fitting verb or concept in the answer can help.  For example, when a question asks about "exploration", the answer choice that contains the verb "to find" the best route would be a good fit, and correct.

3.  When a question completely baffles you, such as a question asking for a hidden political motive behind the "Wizard of Oz" movie, '''consider a possible economic (money-based) answer'''.  Historical events and politics are motivated more by money than most students realize.  When you're lost and can't explain why people did something, like have slaves, then think if there was a economic or financial motivation for owning slaves.  There was: slaves were virtually free labor, and were more profitable to use than paying someone to do the job.  Slave-owners became richer than many people who opposed slavery.

4.  Finally, '''view multiple choice questions like a puzzle'''.  Learn to enjoy solving them.  Don't let any test or question intimidate you.  Multiple choice questions become much easier when you find a way to enjoy figuring out their puzzles.
