Should you solve the Extra 12 Questions in BIT-SAT?

The BIT-SAT takes know that they have the option to solve extra 12 questions. But there is a confusion whether to attempt them or not? 😕 As per the Brochure: If a candidate answers all the 150 questions (without skipping any question), the candidate will have an option of attempting 12 (twelve) extra questions, if there is still time left. These extra questions will be from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics only; four questions from each part. Further, once the candidate has opted for extra questions, he cannot go back for correction of any of the earlier answered 150 questions."So, the important points to be noted are: You are not given any extra time to answer these questions. You need to attempt all 150 questions. You cannot leave any question blank You cannot go back any change any of your answers According to BITS, these extra 12 questions are a designed to be tougher than the rest. Whereas, almost every BITSian who has got a score of 350+ claims to have attempted these extra 12 questions. :sshhh: So if you use a little guesswork and do a little time management, I think you should attempt those 12 Extra Questions. 😀

The highest cut off in the recent years has been less than 350 (If you get above 350, you'll get the branch of your choice). So according to me, it is not necessu ary to attempt the extra questions. Infact, it is quite a gamble. You need to have solved all 150 questions before the time gets over in order to redeem the extra ones. If you do any guesswork, there are negative marks. As it is you don't need more than 350/450. So why take this unnecessary risk and lower your score.

I would like to add that most of the students don't attemp the extra questions as opposed to AbraKadabra's post, since it really is not needed (unless you are a very great topper or something 😛). Solve as many questions as you can comfortably, and you will sail through with flying colours 😀
