Don't Pick B - How I'd Answer Multiple Choice Questions

  • I have spent a huge amount of time recently writing out explanations to multiple choice questions - in this video, I go through the way that I would approach similar questions and why just guessing the answer B may not be the best option. Don't think that you have a 25% chance of guessing the correct answer, instead, you need to eliminate the wrong answers one at a time and then make your selection from there.

    I already did this, too many choices always stress me out so i worked on removing them first.
    I finished MCQ's quick and easily this way. Glad to know my technique is good!

    Me reading the question about the guy on the boat, was tempted to write "he's dead Jim". The paper was, not hard in terms of theory. Admitedly, the lasers question went out the window, for whatever reason I neglected to revise it. There was an absence of quantum physics (No energy levels?!?). Everything else, was okay, but I was making mistakes which took way too much time. I'm confident that for a lot of what I answered I scored marks. But those tiny mistakes cost me so much time that in the end the paper was probably a write off. I fear I may even struggle to obtain a C in that paper. But it is what it is, and I will just try harder for the next.

    Thankyou so much your worked solutions on multi choice have saved my exam today. The AQA A level paper was unfortunately impossible. They seem to have ramped the difficulty up even more than the 2020 paper which is ridiculous. I understand that aqa want to return back to the original grade boundaries from before covid. But setting ludicrously difficult paper (harder than even old spec past papers) is not the answer.

    Do we need to complete all long answer questions to get a high grade or can we skip some. I've heard that there are always questions of varying difficulties. :)

    Thank you so much for the video, I’m a gcse student am I’m thinking of taking physics next year and my teacher says that physics wouldn’t be the best subject for me even though physics is my favourite Science, is there anything I could do over the summer to prepare if I’m going to pick physics next year

      As a physics A-Level student here in year 13, I would recommend to just go over the triple science content for physics GCSE. This would help give you some understanding. If you want you could ask your teacher what exam board they use for A-Level Physics and then go over the content on it over the summer

      Get a second hand Physics Text book. Read it and do the questions. Watch videos on the chapters you have read and attempt more questions. Don't only watch videos as it is a passive way of learning. Most important way of retaining information is ACTIVE RECALL. In essence answer as many questions as you can. All the best

    If you have to guess all answers you should get an F- because you just don't know. Multiple choice tests by definition will never score fairly those who know nothing at all... unless wrong answers score negatively.
