When you can't finish a difficult item, what is recommended?

When you encounter a difficult item you can’t finish, the best move is to keep the pace and manage time effectively. Mark the item for later and proceed to the easier questions to secure quick points and maintain momentum. If you have a chance to return, do so, but if time runs out, use elimination to narrow the remaining choices and make an educated guess among the plausible ones. This approach improves your overall score because you avoid leaving questions blank and you increase your odds on the ones you do answer by not guessing blindly.
