Before you move to preparation, there\u2019s one critical mistake you must understand\u2014negative marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f The Negative Marking Trap Most Candidates Fall Into<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most candidates don\u2019t lose marks because questions are difficult\u2014they lose marks because they attempt questions they shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the reality: attempt 10 questions you\u2019re unsure about and get them wrong\u2014you lose 2.5 marks instantly due to negative marking. In an exam where the difference between selection and rejection is often just 1\u20133 marks, this is not a small mistake\u2014it\u2019s decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The takeaway is simple: smart selection beats blind attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Rule: Attempt a question only when you are at least 70% confident of getting it right. Leaving a question is always better than risking unnecessary negative marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
