This is how you handle the paper once the clock starts ticking.
The First-Pass Scan: Quickly flip through the whole test. Answer the "easy" questions first to build confidence and lock in those points.
The "Parking Lot": If a question looks like a monster, don't let it eat your time! Put a star next to it, "park" it, and move on. Come back to it at the end.
Slash the Trash (Multiple Choice): On the Math, Science, LA, and Social MC tests, cross out the two answers you know are wrong. Choosing between 2 options is much easier than 4!
Evidence Hunting (Reading Comp): The answer is always in the text. Underline the sentence that proves your answer.
