No Question left behind
By the end of 90 questions per session for SQE 1. There should be no question left behind. Answer all 90 questions.
Do not leave any question unanswered
- If you do not know the answer, try and eliminate the wrong answer choices. If you are down to two potential “single best answer choices” pick one. Do not leave any question blank
- If you are running out of time and for example, you have three minutes left to answer 10 questions. You need to guess on around 8 of the questions. Do not leave any question blank
- Under no situation leave any question blank
Why no Question left behind
If you leave any question(s) blank, you will earn a 0 on that question. While guessing is not a SQE strategy, however, when time is running out select one answer. A slim (1 in 5) chance exists you get it right. 20% is better than 0% chance of getting the question right.
