Why Is This Feature Important?

The “Report Question” option gives candidates a designated facility to flag a concern about a question during the examination. It is useful to understand its purpose before the test begins.

• Question-related concerns: Candidates can use the facility if they wish to report an issue with a question.
• On-screen availability: The option will be accessible during the examination.
• Clear understanding of the interface: Familiarity with the feature can help candidates avoid confusion while navigating the test.

However, the information handout excerpt does not specify the types of issues that can be reported, the exact steps after clicking the button, or how the examination authority will review a report.

How Should Candidates Use the Report Question Option?

The information handout confirms the availability and purpose of the button but does not provide the detailed reporting procedure in the excerpt quoted above. Keep these points in mind:

• Read the on-screen instructions carefully before using the option.
• Use the feature to report a genuine concern about a question.
• Do not assume that reporting an issue automatically changes the question, answer options or marks.
• Keep track of the remaining examination time while addressing any question-related concern.
