Mr. Graham introduces strategies for tackling revising and editing multiple-choice questions. He explains the concept of 'fake kids' used in tests and provides detailed strategies for both revising and editing questions. Revising questions focus on improving writing with no single correct answer, while editing questions have a clear right answer due to existing mistakes. The video emphasizes evaluating each answer choice and using process of elimination to confidently select the best answers.

What is the primary strategy for tackling each multiple choice question?

• Choose the longest answer

• Evaluate each choice as a separate question

• Guess if unsure

• Ignore all but one choice
