Unhappy Methods for answering when time runs out....

I'm sitting the UKcat next week and was wondering what the best method, when time is almost up, for answering the remaining questions is?

Is it better to go through the remaining questions clicking A, B or C randomly?
Or is picking one letter, say A, and answering them all with this a better method?

I guess the latter method would at least ensure a few extra marks. What do others think?

I think you should do as many questions as possible. Then skim read and make the most educated guesses rather than making completely wild guesses.

Yes, I am more than aware that it would be a good idea to answer as many questions as possible thanks.
However, if I find myself with only a minute left and several questions left to answer it will not be possible to 'skim read' all of them and this was the situation I was referring to in the above question.
