Filling answer bubble - your strategy

[krokodilizm]

Level 3 candidates, please share your strategy of filling the answer sheets in L2.
In L1 i used to leave behind questions, note the question numbers on the first page, and move on. After the first round i could clearly see the list of questions outstanding. In l2, given vignettes, will it be rather confusing to leave behind parts of a vignette? Say answer 5 and skip one for later? Is it more sensible to fully complete vignettes or skip them in blocks of 6 instead?

I ranked by knowledge (or lack of knowledge) so I knew how to allocate my spare time at the end.
Some answers, I left blank. I drew a big question mark with a box next to the question number in the question book.
Some, I wasn’t sure but filled in my best guess. I draw a big question mark with a circle in the question book.
Some, I was I was mostly sure but wanted to spend more time if I had it.. just a question mark with no box or circle.
At the end of the exam I flipped through the question book, looking for question marks with boxes, circles, nothing, in that order.
Apart from this, I put my answer in the answer book as soon as I knew it, always concentrating to get the check the question number. It would be confusing for me to do any other style (skip a block of six, copy all answers over at the end… etc.)
The only times I can see this strategy failing is 1) if nerves get to you and you forget to check question numbers when inputting the answer, or 2) there isn’t enough time on the exam (in which case, just fill in a guess when you skip).
As it happened on test day, there was a lot of spare time in both exams.
