Hi,

Can you give me the tips on how to handle the situation i.e.

if a child does not know the answer of a question
if time is running out and feel that paper will not be complete
any other situation


Thanks

Any other situation at all? We may be some time!.....

The important thing is reassuring the child that it is okay not to completely finish (especially in CEM where they often shoehorn in too many questions to stretch people)
Therefore if a question takes too long, learn to skip it, put an educated guess and move on.

It's easy to say this but worth checking if the child is actually doing it: some personality types find it very hard to admit they are bogged down in a question and tend to be very methodical but may have a lower score than a guess-and-move on personality.
