Grade 9 Study Skills and Strategies
When faced with a multiple choice test question, try the following strategies:

1.) Cover the answer choices before you read the question. This will allow you to think of the answer without the distraction of incorrect answers. Try to come up with a reasonable answer if you are not sure of the correct answer.

2.) Read the entire question. Underline or circle any qualifier words or phrases that set a restriction or is absolute. Examples include: always, never, sometimes, probably, not, must, often, cannot, only, except.

3.) Read all of the the choices before answering.

4.) Use process of elimination to rule out choices that you are confident are incorrect. Even if you can only cross out one choice, you have increased the likelihood of getting the question correct.

5.) Put a line through the letter(s) of any answer choices you eliminate. Leave possible answers open. Do not cross out the entire answer as you may need to go back to it later.

6.) If an answer choice is only partly correct, that choice is most likely wrong.

7.) Answer choices are usually designed not to be tricky, rather, the choices tend to be based on common errors or misconceptions. Think of the most likely ways a student could get the question incorrect, try them out, and if the answer is a choice, eliminate it.

8.) Pick an answer. Unless the test does not penalize you for skipping questions, you must select a choice. Pick the best one from the options you did not eliminate.

9.) Once you have selected an answer, reread the the entire question to double-check that your answer is the best option. Make sure you answered what the question asked.

Answer Explanations:

Question 2:
Pay close attention to the words, "must," "may", and "cannot" in the answer choices. Eliminate the choices you know are incorrect or only partly correct. Using the diagram, angle 6 is a right angle, so eliminate choice "C". Also, eliminate choice "D" because the words, "must," "may", and "cannot" from the first three options cover all conditions. From here, guess between "A" and "B" or apply your knowledge of geometry theorems to select the correct answer "A".

Question 3:
Circle the word "EXCEPT." Three of the answers will be correct, so be careful not to select the first answer that looks right, you are looking for a wrong answer. If you are not sure of the formula or units for density, look for the answer choice that is different from the others. In this case, "mL," "L," and "cc" are all units for volume, but "cm" is a unit for length. Select answer "D" because it is different from the other choices.

Question 4:
Circle the phrase, "most correct," it implies there is more than one correct answer so beware of selecting the first answer that seems correct. Based on the answer choices, there are two decisions you need to make, whether the eclipse would be lunar or solar and whether the eclipse will be seen or may be seen. Even if you can only decide on one of those two factors, you can then eliminate two choices and guess.

Question 5:
Eliminate choice "D" as it is the least like the other three choices since it compares the sample to the original rock and not the other sample. From here you will need to use your understanding of density to select the correct answer.

Question 6:
Be on the look out for common errors. Do a quick logic check or estimation. If you increase the size of something, it gets larger, so as a percentage the answer must be greater than 100%. Cross off choices "A" and "B". A common error would be adding 50 and 25 to get 75, so even if you are not sure how to do the math, cross off choice "C" and select "D."
