  • The best strategy in this case when you don’t have any clue about the answers is to mark them in the same sequence. Hence, either mark all of them as ‘a’ or ‘b’ or ‘c’ or ‘d’.

  • The reason behind this is that among the 10 questions, some would have ‘a’ as the answer while some would have ‘b’ and so on. Hence, if you don’t adopt this strategy you might end up marking all wrong answers which could fetch you -10!

  • i havent understood this please can u explain me with an example ?

This is the last option for the one who want to attempt all questions .. since each option has a probability of 1/4 .. hence for about 10 ques there would be about 3 ques which would have the same answer say A .. now if you just marked A in all 10 then you will get 12-7= +5 marks rather than 0 for not attempting... But please this is a risky thing so avoid it !!!
