You should be confident in all of the listed topics, but beyond that the exam is a test of time management. You will probably start too slowly by reading and re-reading questions and spending too much time on questions to which you do not know the answer. Set yourself a target for half-time (1 hour). I suggest half way though is a good goal (35 questions). If you don't meet that target then you need a new strategy, because the last thing you want is to leave questions unread - they might have been easy ones.
If you are in timing trouble (eg. Q30 after 1 hour), I suggest the following strategy.
- If a question seems fairly straightforward, it probably is. Answer it and move on immediately.
- If a question is VERY long, read the first line and the 5-6 responses, provide an educated guess without reading the entire question and move on. This will be hard to do, but you are already in time trouble and reading and understanding this question in full may cost you three questions at the end.
- If you get a tricky one (select ALL correct responses) on a subject that you are not expert in, guess it, tag it, and move on. If you get time then come back, but don't waste time on a question you will probably get wrong anyway.
Having said that that, there is enough time allocated to carefully read every question and response and to provide your answer(s) with a very small amount of time for thinking. If you have been staring at a question for 30 seconds or are re-reading it for the third time then it is time to move on. You don't need to get EVERY question right, so be prepared walk on by questions that are too hard.
