What if I mis-bubble the whole test?
It’s every student’s nightmare: you’ve got a few minutes left in your test section, and you go to bubble in the answer to question 25, only to find that your answer to 24 is on the line for #25. Trying to squelch the rising feelings of panic, you scan your answer sheet only to find a blank line at question 11 — but you know you answered number 11. You’ve just mis-bubbled more than half your section.
So, what do you do? Start hysterically crying? Fake a fainting spell? Scream and throw a tantrum?
Simple: raise your hand immediately and tell the proctor exactly what you’ve done.
That may be an embarrassing thing to do, but let’s consider the best- and worst-case result of this action.
If you have a sympathetic proctor and the proctor rules allow it, you’ll get to take some time after the test is over to correct your mistake (under supervision, of course). In fact, you could end up being the only student walking out of the test who is sure nothing was mis-bubbled in the end.
If the proctor can’t or won’t help you, you’ll be in the same situation as before you asked.
So if you mis-bubble a block of questions, don’t panic. Ask the proctor for help. You’ve got nothing to lose!
