Tip number 2maximize your score!

Easy and medium questions should be solved and do not dwell on solving difficult questions!

Remember – difficult and long questions seem challenging to us, but are actually meant to waste you valuable exam time. The computer that tests the exam does not distinguish between the difficulty levels of the questions and each question has the same score. The hard questions should be kept for the test time, if there is no time – take a guess!

Tip 3 – Do not change intuitive answers!

Try not to correct an intuitive answer, this usually leads to correcting from a correct answer to a wrong answer.

Remember – if on further reading you have come to the conclusion that you did not understand the question correctly, then correct it! But if the answer came from the stomach, a kind of learned guess, you should not correct it.
