Testing Procedures / Tips:
You should average about 2 minutes per question.
There are no penalties for wrong answers so you should guess even if you don't know or run out of time.
The exams allow you to use a calculator if you bring it. Many of the questions can be worked quickly with a calculator, and to be competitive you will need to take those shortcuts as other students will be.
The exam does not require you to clear your programs before you begin the test so you may have math programs in your calculator that could be helpful if you are familiar with them and know what they have to offer. Check out my calculator resource page to see where to get already made programs and how to transfer them to your calculator from your computer or from another calculator.
Tiebreaker 1 will only be graded to differentiate the top scores. Unless you cannot improve your multiple choice selections, tiebreaker 1 is not a good use of your time.
Putting down SOMETHING about tiebreaker 1 may separate you from those that don't spend any time on it.
Tiebreaker 2 is only used if after tiebreaker 1, it is still too close to call. This is probably not worthy of your time. Tiebreaker 3 is only used if after tiebreaker 2, it is still too close to call. This is almost certainly a waste of valuable testing time.
The tests will have questions that you have not covered in class yet. One school may teach sequences and series first, while another may teach it last. To be fair to all schools, the tests will have all of the content. Therefore, to do the best possible, you need to work on previous exams and learn some of the material that you have not seen in class yet. It will be near impossible for you to compete with students who work ahead, if you don't do that yourself. The other benefit is that it should make class easier for the rest of the year as you will have already exposed yourself to some of the other concepts.
