encounter in a section, a section-wise overview screen is provided
in the test mode. Make sure that you are familiar with the function
of every key before you begin taking the test.
What
does the Button Panel Overview do?
This
explains the functions of all the buttons that appear on the question
screen. This can be viewed only once, i.e., before taking the
test. So make sure you understand what every button on the screen
does well before you take a test.

Keep checking the time at regular intervals to make sure
that you have enough time to answer all the questions.

sure you are familiar with the directions for each type of question
before you attempt any question.
Do
not spend too much time on one question until you have tried all
the
other questions in a section.
Pace
your answers such that you have enough time to attempt all the
questions. Keep an eye on the timer.
When
you are unsure of the right answer, try eliminating one or morechoices
before giving up. Remember, there is no negative marking.
