How to see it
Some papers have a separate answer sheet, marked by a computer. On a sheet like this, you draw a pencil line through the rectangle for your letter. Your own sheet says how. To change an answer, rub it out completely. Do not cross it out. The number on the sheet matches the number of the question.
A worked example
Question 5 is C, in row 5. Stuck on question 6? Skip it, and leave row 6 empty. Question 7 is B: find the 7 on the sheet first. At the end, go back to 6. If your school's paper does not take marks off for wrong answers, a guess beats a blank. Check that first.
The common mistake: marking an answer in the wrong row after a skip
The trap comes straight after a skip. The answer to 7 goes in the empty row 6. Then every answer after it is one row out. Check the number each time you mark.
