• The single tick in front of question which can be easily answered.
• Put a double take on the question that can be solved but would take some time.
• And put a triple tick on the question that is tough and the candidate is doubtful to solve it or will require more time and concepts.
• Now while solving, solve the single marked questions first then the double marked and triple marked at the last.
• As there is no negative marking scheme, the questions which are too hard to be solved can be solved by guessing, but don’t leave the question unanswered.
