Read each question
Slowly read each multiple-choice question to ensure a full understanding of the concepts. As you go through the questions look for key concepts that you recognize. If you come across a confusing area, mark it and move on. You can come back to it later. Start with the easiest questions first. That way you'll boost your confidence before tackling the hard questions.

Time yourself
Pretend like you are taking the real exam. Give yourself a time limit for finishing the questions. It's important not to panic if you don't know the answer. Multiple choice questions are either correct or incorrect. There is no partial credit, and there is no penalty for guessing, so be sure to answer every question.

Correct your answers
Once you have finished the exam or run out of time carefully reread the exam explanations and correct your answers. Take some time and pinpoint concepts that were difficult. Note these areas so that you can go back and review them at a later date.

Create flashcards
Keep track of the difficult concepts and definitions and make a flashcard for each one. Keep the flashcards with you during the day. You never know when you'll have a couple of minutes between classes to give yourself a quick quiz.
