Hi thirst, what I try to do is, I write "be careful" on every page of my scratch paper, and I always peak at these words before I proceed to the next question. One other thing is speed. The test normally takes me about 45 mins to finish. Thus, as long as I can meet my timeline on 75-55-35-...

It took me a very long time preparing for this test and it's hard to gather myself back at this moment. My p...
