How should candidates approach unfamiliar questions during the AON Assessment?

Candidates should make educated guesses based on context when they encounter unfamiliar questions during the AON Assessment. This approach allows them to utilize their existing knowledge and reasoning skills to infer the most likely correct answer. By examining the question for clues or context, candidates can sometimes deduce information that may not be immediately apparent.

This strategy is especially useful in a timed assessment, where spending too much time on a question that may lead to frustration or uncertainty can result in lost opportunities to answer other questions. Making educated guesses keeps candidates engaged with the test and maximizes their chances of selecting a reasonable answer, even if they are unsure.

The other options, such as skipping questions entirely or choosing options without consideration, may lead to lower overall scores and missed opportunities to demonstrate knowledge. It’s important to strike a balance between caution and confidence, and making educated guesses is an effective way to navigate challenging questions.
