In doing so they are guaranteed to get zero marks for that question, and I thought they were trying to get as many marks as possible! The fact is, that even if your are completely guessing, just writing down a number off the top of your head is better than leaving the question blank. Maybe by some miracle, it could be the correct answer and you"ll get marks for it. Real examiners would love you to leave loads of questions blank as it makes marking lots of papers a doddle, don"t give them an easy time. http://www.extratuition.com/bexley/post-72-etc-assessments.html Bexley Hurst Road is one of most popular centres for assessments.
