That’s the million dollar question and this will be your 6th key to success.
This factor alone will decide your ranking, if there is negative marking . As mentioned earlier, If you have studied properly you will easily attempt 170 questions. But so will others. So how will you come in the ranks?
Every question paper has around 15 questions, the answers to which no one knows. So the wise thing is to just leave them.
DO NOT GAMBLE WITH THESE UNKNOWN QUESTIONS. This will be your 7th key to success.
The remaining questions will be such that you will be stuck with 2 options in answer. Only take a gamble if you are sure you will be 50 percent right. As for every 4 questions that you attempt, which you think can be correct, you can afford 1 wrong answer.

I had attempted 185 questions, of which I was sure 170 were correct. I took gamble of 15 questions of which I thought I was correct in 10 of them. AIPG key is different than what we think should be correct answers. So keep margin of that too. Don’t be worried once you come out of exam hall and hear people saying they attempted 195-198 questions. Definitely these people will never get in the ranks!
Always be sure to revise Important Topics before exam.
Make sure you have gone through the important books that I mentioned in earlier posts.

Don’t be tempted to attempt more if you don’t know it.
Be calm, double check what you are marking. 3 hours is a long duration and if you know your paper, you will finish it in 2 hours. So you have plenty of time. Do not hurry.
Do not be frustrated if you encounter question after question that you cannot attempt. Its okay. You can always get back to these questions later.
