2. Answer practice Qs ahead of time- familiarize self with all question types then
do practice Qs, preferably timed.
3. Read directions carefully- if forget them, click on the help icon. Try not to do
this bc that time still counts. Just try to remember at the beginning.
4. Read each question carefully/thoroughly.
5. Don't spend too much time on any one question- more worthwhile to move on.
6. Confirm answers only when ready to move on- can't go back and change once it
is confirmed. Can't skip questions. For the IR section there could be multiple
questions based on one prompt. When this happens, if they show on one screen,
you can change your response to any of the questions on the screen before going
to the next screen. However, you can't go back to that screen again once you've
moved on.
7. Plan your essay answer before you begin writing.
Even though the first 10 questions help the algorithm to determine your ability for
the following questions, focus on them all equally, as the score is computed based
on your answers to all of them, and it is more important to complete the test than
to respond correctly to every question.
