Guessing hints on AB Calculus MC?

<p>Anyone know good guessing strategies for the MC?</p>

<p>haha... you've gotta be pretty desperate to ask for "guessing strategies" ...
i don't think there are any good strategies, i mean most of the answers
will be given so you can't just randomly guess (they'll all look "right")</p>

<p>well it's usually easy to eliminate two off the bat, so at that point guessing is beneficial. if you can only eliminate one, don't guess.</p>

<p>Raindrop is right on- if you can't eliminate two don't guess. Also, sometimes you can work backwards from the answers. Another thing: if you know a problem will take a while to do, skip it, and if you have time go back and work on it. :)</p>

<p>You can always pick C if you don't care about AP tests anymore.</p>

<p>draw a big plus sign, put a, b, c, d in each corner, put your pencil in the middle, let go and see where it lands</p>

<p>Make it so the C takes up a big corner than the others. :) And I guess you can forget about the E?</p>

<p>Close your eyes, move your pencil, put it down on the sheet, and circle that answer your pencil is placed on. One time I did that, and I actually got the right answer.</p>

<p>i've done eeny-meeny-miney-mo a bunch of times this year. definitely using it tmrw.</p>

<p>My Calc teacher is a genius. He's been teaching the class so long, graded APs once, etc, so he has his this theory on how to guess accurately.</p>

<p>Look for "the flyer." This is the answer choice that is completly different from the other 4 choices. IT sticks out for some reason. That one is most definately not the answer. Then you look for answers that seem to fit a pattern or group. Within that group you chose the answer that looks most logical. </p>

<p>Me and my friends tried it on practice multiple choice exams and it works pretty well.</p>
