When answering multiple choice questions it is better to read all of all the possible answers before answering the question in your head true or false?

Answer 1

True, it is ALWAYS best to read ALL multiple choice answers, then answer in your mind, before marking your test paper. Multiple choice answers are designed to make sure you have read each answer. Some answers are very close. Other answers contain "ALL" or "NOT" or "DO" words that change the meaning of the answer, like "Dogs do not bark". And often, C, D, and E give choices like: Only X and Y of the given answers; Or, Only X but not Y of the answers; Or All of the above; Or None of the above. If you pick the first answer you think is right, you'll miss these qualifying distinctions at the end. Some instructors also like to fool students. Every choice is right---but the last one says "To get this question right, you must choose this answer"-- it is a trick question!

Answer 2

When taking a multiple-choice test, it’s tempting to work your way through the questions as quickly as possible. But when taking a multiple-choice test, it’s best to instead be methodical and read each question thoroughly. You can use steps such as these to make sure you’re understanding the question, and thus its answer, as well as possible: · Read the test instructions thoroughly so you know what is being asked of you. For example, should you select one answer, or multiple for each question? The instructions will lead the way. · Review the whole test before starting to give yourself an idea of how much time you can spend on each question. · Starting at the beginning, read each question all the way through. Before reading the possible answers, try and answer the question in your head. If you can, read through your answers and select the answer you thought of. · If you cannot answer the question in your head, move on from that question and return to it later. When you do return to it, read through all of the answers and try to determine which is the best fit. Thoroughness is key when taking a multiple-choice test; be sure you’re paying attention to details when taking this kind of test.
