remember; the only thing that counts is what you enter on your answer

6. Be careful not to make any stray pencil marks on your answer sheet.
The L.E.T. is scored by a computer that cannot distinguish between an
accidental mark and a filled-in answer. If the computer registers two
answers where there should be only one, it will mark that question wrong.

7. Don’t change answers capriciously. If you have time to return to a

question and realize that you made a mistake, by all means correct it,
making sure you completely erase the first mark you made. However,
don’t change answers on a last-minute hunch or whim, or for fear you
have chosen too many A’s and not enough B’s. In such cases, more often
than not, students change right answers to wrong ones.
