General strategies ;
1) The exam is a great leveler : You 'very no doubt heard this advice when taking other tests, but it's still true. Familiarize yourself ahead of time with the directions for each section(knowledge of the test formats is handy)
2) USE ALLOTED TIME WISELY :Time can be a limiting factor, always work quickly and accurately because even the smartest could be feel helpless when the time is almost up
3) PACE YOURSELF :To make sure you have enough time to answer every question, pay close attention to the number of questions in each section and, again, the amount of time remaining on your screen timer. keep in mind : Try not to spend so much time on one question that you neglect others. Make an educated guess if you don't know the answer or if a question is too time consuming. You don't want to be forced to guess randomly at the end 'cos you've run out of time
4) READ THE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS THOROUGHLY : Before answering a question, determine exactly what's being asked. Avoid skimming a question or the possible answers; you may miss important information
5) STRIVE TO COMPLETE EACH SECTION : If you don't finish in the allotted time, you will receive scores as long as you 've worked on every section. But because the score reflects the number of questions answered, your score "might" decrease with each unanswered question. [JAMBITES take note too]
