Answering questions
Generally speaking, assessors are aware of your time pressures and so will save their questions until the end. If youâre asked a question that you canât answer then be honest â youâll gain more credibility from this than from half-baked waffle. You can, in fact, turn your lack of knowledge to your advantage by answering: âThatâs an interesting point that I havenât been asked before. Iâm afraid I donât have an answer for you right now but I will find out and get back to you.â This technique flatters the questionerâs ego and demonstrates your integrity.
