What to do when you dont know the answer to a question?
If you are having difficulty figuring out the answer to a question, or if you have several possibilities in mind, use the margins (or the back) of your exam to work it out. Write down anything that comes to you, and see if this jogs your memory. Some teachers allow you to bring a scrap sheet of paper to the exam.
Why do you answer the easy questions first?
Another reason you want to answer the easy questions first is to get them out of the way. This way, if you run out of time, at least you’ll have a bunch of questions answered. Supply more than one answer, if you aren’t sure. If you have more than one idea, and you truly can’t decide which is more likely to be correct, write them both down.
When do you run out of time to answer a question?
If you notice that you are stuck on one particular question, or spending too much time on a really detailed answer, go to the next question. Go back at the end of the test to fill in anything you missed. If you spend too much time on one question, you may run out of time to answer the rest.

What to say if you don’t know the answer to a question?
If you don’t want to answer the entire question, find a part that you can address, says Sullivan. “You can say, ‘I appreciate that this is of interest, right now. Let’s focus on this part,’” he says. “Briefly answering part of the question may be enough to assuage and satisfy them.”
What’s the purpose of the daily standup question?
The purpose of this question is simple and intuitive. Standup participants list anything that’s blocking their progress (and ideally highlight/prioritize urgent impediments). Then, team members are encouraged to jump in and help one another surface/eliminate blockers. Some common examples of impediments are:
What’s the best way to answer a question?
If the nature of the back and forth is that you need to make clear that you are answering the person’s question and not just supplying random facts or opinions, then by all means say, “The answer to your question is…” or “To answer your question…”.
What does the 3rd question in standup mean?
The 3rd question (“Anything blocking your progress?”) often leads to multiple people discussing a blocker during the standup — we’ve seen meetings go over as much as 1 hour because of this. For example, let’s say John raises a blocker.
