Tips for making the most of your exam:

  1. Get there early - familiarize yourself with locations and environments
  2. Breathe deeply - lowering your stress level helps you perform better
  3. Don't expect to know everything - it's unlikely that anyone will answer all questions correctly
  4. Preview the exam - read the directions, note the number of questions
  5. Start with the questions you know - build confidence and time for the harder ones, don't get stuck on the ones you don't know, flag them and come back to them at end.
  6. Plan your time and pace yourself - aim for an average of 1 minute per answered question
  7. Allocate time for review - on second reading, your answer may change
  8. Read each question carefully - have it clear in your head before answering
  9. Read each answer - note all those that are wrong
  10. Choose the best answer - or make an educated guess if you aren't certain
  11. Review all questions
