GOLDEN RULES OF SOLVING MCQ:

1. Trust your pre-existing knowledge base. This is MCQs. Everything else comes after
this. Secr main weapon to solve

2. Use common sense and logic. If anything seems odd, it definitely will be odd. (The
most underrated rule). This is your second main weapon to solve MCQs.

3. Put yourself in the shoes of the question paper setter. Think like him, think why has
he framed the question in such a way. Think about the effort he must have used to
frame that question. Think about the resources he must have used to framed that
question. Just by doing this, you will gather a lot of information that can sometimes
be helpful in eliminating the options.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS :


You are supposed to apply these trends only when you are cluless about the question. Before that
don’t even think of applying any of this. Always use your knowledge to solve the question in the first
instance.

All the Best...!
