Where Candidates Leave Practice-Exam Questions Unanswered
Blank answers rise near the end of full exams. In questions 91-100, the blank rate is 17.8% for Part 1, 23.8% for Part 2, and 12.1% for Part 3. The data shows position, not the reason for each blank.
What this result includes
- 875 completed half/full exams
- Ten-question position bands
- Blank slots separated from incorrect answers
Part 2 full exams show the largest late blank rate
Questions 91-100 reach 23.8% blank.
The position pattern supports pacing checkpoints
A checkpoint before the final 30 questions can reveal whether the candidate must shorten deliberation or preserve review time.
Blank does not mean wrong reasoning
The report keeps unanswered slots separate from answered-item accuracy because the intervention is different.
Blank rate in the final 30 questions of full exams
Each row is a ten-question position band from completed 100-question practice exams.
Blank rate by part, exam length, and position45 rows
A completed exam can be submitted with blanks. The current data cannot distinguish timeout, interruption, or deliberate early completion for every slot.

What the data cannot establish
The database does not currently distinguish every reason for an unanswered slot, so the page cannot label all blanks as timeouts.
Turn the finding into a decision.
Use the report to choose a focused action, then test that decision with current material. The evidence should reduce uncertainty; it should never replace the complete exam outline or promise an official result.
