Because there is no penalty for a wrong answer, what should a candidate do with a question they cannot resolve?

Choices

  • Leave it blank to avoid a penalty

    There is no penalty, so leaving it blank only forfeits a chance at the point.

  • ✓ Select the best available answer rather than leaving it blankcorrect

    With no guessing penalty, every question should be answered.

  • Skip it permanently

    Skipping permanently guarantees no credit.

  • Report the question as defective

    That is not a general test-taking strategy for uncertain questions.

Why

There is no penalty for a wrong guess, so a candidate should answer every question, choosing the best available option even when unsure.
