Dear Admin,

Today, I talked a random invidual about a testing situation in order to flesh out the frustration and JUST listen to myself where I am at in terms of preparing. Anyways, I told this random person that I always liked to have more time on the tough question I go back. She suggested that since flipping pages to go back with some questions with marketed contenders can be confusing, how about i fully utilize any empty spaces in scantron sheets? Is there any way I can effectively utilize Scantron's space cuz make some sort of marking in scantron sheet would provide a more effective view of which question I must go back to.

lets for example in section 1,

can i make a tiny pencil mark not touching the blacked bars? or should I make any tiny pencil mark between section 1 box and section 2 box which some empty space is located right side of oval E and section 1 box until there is section 2 box where the line is drawn up again? if you want I can attach the image of scantron. thx.

Let's say if i do this carefully, would that still affect how the computer would read my answers in oval sheet?

Do not make any stray marks on your answer sheet, lathlee! While it might not cause a scoring problem, you don't want to run that risk. Instead, mark the questions clearly in the test booklet that you might want to return to if time allows, and then return to them methodically by going back to the first page of the section and looking at each question to see if you marked it. Use something big and obvious, like a big X or circling the whole thing, so you aren't struggling to see if it's actually one you want to revisit or just one with a stray mark next to it.

Reserve the answer sheet for just the answers, fully and carefully bubbled in. Your random friend meant well but should be thanked and then ignored.

Good luck!

Hi Lathlee,

Yes, I approve :) It's an easy way to keep track of what you skipped over, and then you just erase the side marks when done.

Thanks!
