But in all cases my Multiple-choice has done very miserably and I don't seem to be able to find a way around it. the main problem is that my overall averages for both of these subjects is now 70%, but I know that I can do a lot better. Both my teachers are also stumped.

Multiple-choice is designed around understanding the concept of what you are learning and I know the concepts very well but for some reason I am unable to read or interpret the questions correctly and I'm curious if anybody might know the best way to approach this.

One of the suggestions by my teacher was to carry out the written and mathematical sections first before proceeding to be multiple-choice. This I will definitely do but I am curious to know if there are any other ways to deal with this?
How do you find reading a sentence or a paragraph??. Do the words flow into one another?? Meaning, do you see a sentence as if it was like one long word with little or no breaks between words??. Or do you see the first word, the last word and the rest in between seems blurred or like as if it's not there??

Do you have any other problems reading sentences??
