Don't get worried about wrong or blank answers, put focus on remaining questions
Don't waste time on questions, which you didn't find any answer to. Shift your look to the rest of the questions
Use the given time wisely. Complete unanswered questions at the end
Initially reading the questions, and then the passage, might help the student to pick the correct or atleast nearest answer. Few students might prefer the reverse
Don't read the whole paragraph or passage, just skim and scan to find the relevant one
Give a quick glance on the passages to find related meaning, word, links or synonyms etc
Skim the inappropriate and Scan the appropriate
usually, the questions are asked as per the order of the passage
While skimming, do underline the related phrases, synonyms, and sentences etc, helps you in answering
If scanning doesn't help to find answers in difficult or unfamiliar passages, read the passage clearly
Keep in mind that answers are found in the passage only, means questions will not be Out Of Syllabus
Pick and tick unique or special words such as capital letters, italics, underlining, figures, statistics, graphs, tables, geographical locations, dates, time periods, names of a person or regional. And also keywords, synonyms, etc
Don't leave blank, if you don't find any answer or if you're not sure. Fill it with a related, similar or doubtful answer, which score you mark if it is right. However, leaving unanswered is not a wise move
Incorrect spellings are treated Unanswered
Always check the spellings, because misspelling will cost marks, though the answer is correct
Strike out wrong answers in multiple-choice tasks, helps you to avoid confusion
In the True/false/not given section, don't get confused with False and Not Given. Be cautious
False means contradictory, that means will not match the fact. Not Given means the question is Out of Syllabus or not at all related to the passage content
