Needs stronger evidence

The exact change

Before

"The biggest PBQ mistake I see is candidates spending 20 minutes on one PBQ when they only have 90 minutes total. Answer what you can on PBQs, move on to multiple choice, and return with remaining time. PBQs that have been partially answered score better than ones abandoned entirely." -- CompTIA certification instructor

After

A common PBQ mistake is spending 20 minutes on one PBQ out of a 90-minute exam. A better approach is to answer what you can on PBQs, move on to multiple choice, and return with remaining time. PBQs that have been partially answered generally score better than ones abandoned entirely.

Suggested change

De-attributed the quote into plain prose, preserving the underlying reasonable PBQ time-management advice.

Why this is better

Removed an unverified quote attributed to a generic, unnamed 'CompTIA certification instructor' with no name or affiliation given. De-attributed the quote into plain prose, preserving the underlying reasonable PBQ time-management advice. Applied directly to the live article content on pass4-sure.us.
