Hello,

A is a psychologist; B is client. A asks B to fill out a form.

A: Now, try to answer these questions.
B: I'm not really good at answering such questions.
A: Those questions you don't know the answers to, I will help you with.

Does the last sentence sound natural to you?

Thank you

This is a complete sentence so it needs to end with a full stop.
A is a psychologist; B is his/her client. A asks B to fill out a form.

A: Now, try to answer these questions.
B: I'm not really good at answering such questions.
A: Those questions you don't know the answers to, I will help you with.

Does the last sentence sound natural to you?
The last sentence is grammatically correct but the word order is a little awkward. That doesn't make it wrong. It just makes it less likely (from a native speaker) than Tarheel's suggestion in the previous post.
Note that BrE speakers would say that A asked B to fill in a form.
Thank you.
Again, remember to use a closing punctuation mark at the end of every sentence, no matter how short.
