Accessing the 12 Bonus Questions in BITSAT

Upon completing the initial 150 questions in the BITS Admission Test (BITSAT), students are given the option to attempt an additional set of 12 questions. Understanding how to access and approach these bonus questions is crucial for maximizing your score. Here's a comprehensive guide on navigating the BITSAT bonus questions.

Completion of 150 Questions

The BITSAT exam consists of 150 multiple-choice questions. As soon as you finish these 150 questions, you will be asked to review your answers. This is a crucial moment because it determines whether you are eligible to attempt the 12 bonus questions. The review process ensures that you have had sufficient time to ponder over your responses and make any necessary corrections.

Dialog Box and Selection

The system will prompt you with a dialog box or a similar screen notification, informing you that you have the option to attempt the 12 bonus questions. This is your decision to make, and it's not mandatory. It's important to weigh your options carefully. If you have not yet answered a significant portion of the 150 questions, you may want to consider skipping the bonus questions to ensure you have a solid grasp of the initial 150 questions. Conversely, if you have attempted nearly 130 questions and have a reasonable number of questions left to review, attempting the bonus questions could potentially yield additional points.

Final Submission and Time Management

If you choose to attempt the bonus questions, make sure to manage your time wisely. The overall exam duration remains constant, including the time spent on the bonus questions. Attempting all 150 questions first is generally advisable, as it ensures you have a comprehensive understanding of the material and reduces the need to guess. Guessing more than 20 questions can have severe consequences and may impact your overall score negatively.
