In the LAST 5 MINUTES of a CAT QA section, the recommended strategy is:
AStart a fresh tier-3 unfamiliar question afresh
BRestart the entire section over again from start
CRevisit marked questions and verify final answers
DLeave the test hall to refresh yourself a bit
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Revisit marked questions and verify final answers
Last-5-min strategy: verify and revisit, do not start new attempts. The expected value of a fresh tier-3 question in 5 min is low; revising marked questions and TITA blanks is better.
