• When you start a section, first answer the questions that you find easy and are confident about. This ensures that you secure those marks before spending more time on challenging questions.
• If you encounter a difficult question, don't spend too much time on it initially. Mark it for review and move on to the next question. Come back to the difficult ones if you have time left at the end.
