What should candidates do if they are unsure about an answer?

• A. Make an educated guess, as unanswered questions count as incorrect.
• B. Leave it blank to return later.
• C. Change it after reading the entire test.
• D. Ask the proctor for the answer.

Answer: (A)

When you’re unsure about an answer, make an educated guess rather than leaving the question blank. Unanswered questions typically count as incorrect, so guessing gives you a chance to earn points you’d miss otherwise. Improve your guess by eliminating clearly false options and picking the best remaining choice. The proctor can’t provide the answer, and simply waiting to review later doesn’t guarantee a better outcome—focus on a quick, informed guess and move on, reviewing only if time allows.
