Tips for Answering Multiple Choice Insurance Exam Questions
We’d like to help you learn how to answer these sometimes confusing questions!Â Here are a few simple to remember tips and tricks that will help you during your insurance exam.

Be certain that you clearly understand the question before you look at your answer choices
Consider how you would answer the question even before you look at your answer choices
Eliminate the answers you know are not correct
Review each answer choice before you make your decision
If you’re not sure how to answer the question, make an educated guess. Chances are good that you will make the right choice
If you find that you are second guessing yourself, go with your first answer choice. In most cases your first choice is going to be the right choice
When presented with “All of the above” or “None of the above” answers, if you are positive that one of the choices is true do not choose “None of the above” or if one of the choices is clearly false do not select”All of the above”
In questions that include an “All of the above” choice, if you see that there are at least two correct statements, then “All of the above” is most likely going to be the right answer
A positive answer is more likely to be true than a negative answer
In questions that contain a “None of the above” choice, if you notice that there are at least two in-correct answers, then “None of the above” is most likely going to be the right answer
