– Return to the question you left unanswered before the time ends.

– It is easy to miss sequential order of your answer by leaving blank space on the answer sheet for the unanswered questions. For example, you have answered question from 1-10 and you are not sure of the answer to question 11. You want to leave it blank to return to it later but want to answer question 12 first. Here it is possible that you may wrongly place the answer for question no. 12 in the square for question no. 11. Please make sure that you don’t make this mistake.
