Answer

In British English, "rub it out" is perfectly fine. It just means "to erase something that was written in pencil".

If they have written in pen, you could say "cross it out" (which basically means 'put a line through it with your pen').

Answer

You could tell them to "think it over and rewrite the answer". You could also say "re-think it" or "think it through again". You should use the phrase "erase it" instead of "rub it out", since "rub it out" has an inappropriate meaning in English (at least in American English).
