How To Utilize The Buttons Properly

When the CUET question paper begins, below each question, you are going to see these four buttons-

Now here we will elaborate use of each button and also give tips on how to use them to save a lot of time correctly.

1. Save and Next- When you know the answer for sure and do not want to waste any time seeing it again, click on the save and next button, which will automatically save your response and move you to the next question.
2. Clear Response- If you want to change your response answer or untick it, this is one way to do so. While there is another way where you can directly click on the response again to untick it or simply click on another response, the tick marker will automatically shift to the new one.
3. Save and Mark for Review- This button becomes crucial when attempting subjects containing numerical questions; try to use this button when you are unsure about the answers and want to review them again. This is because while attempting numerical-based questions, you will get significantly less time to solve all the questions, so saving the response and then marking it for review will help you even if you do not review the answers at the end.
4. Mark for Review and Next- Use this button when attempting theory-based questions. Use this button when unsure about the options, so do not respond and move to the next question. This is because in a theory-based exam, you will have sufficient time in the end to review the left-out questions, and you can efficiently respond to them at the end.
