Recommended strategy:
- •First pass (60 min): Answer all questions you're confident about. Skip difficult ones.
- •Second pass (25 min): Return to skipped questions. Use elimination to narrow options.
- •Final review (5 min): Check for unanswered questions.
StudyBond's CBT simulation trains you to work within this time constraint so exam day feels familiar.
