Watch the Clock: Each section is timed. Avoid spending too long on any single question.
Guess Strategically: Eliminate wrong options first. There is no penalty for incorrect answers, so take an educated guess rather than leaving a blank.
Trust Your First Instinct: Choose your first strong answer and avoid second-guessing yourself unless you find a clear mistake.
