It was great! I left a lot less questions blank than I did last time. vs It was great! I left a lot of questions blank than I did last time.

The first phrase is correct: 'it was great! i left a lot less questions blank than i did last time.' The use of 'less' is appropriate when comparing quantities that cannot be counted individually. In this case, 'questions' is a countable noun, but the comparison is about the overall amount of questions left blank, making 'less' the correct choice.
