Despite preparing well, some people do not score well. A main reason behind this is they fail to read questions carefully. Spending a few more seconds to re-read questions helps you answer them with better accuracy.
4. Manage Your Time Effectively
A good time-management technique is to avoid spending a lot of time on one question. If you find a question particularly difficult, proceed to another question. Once you have worked your way to the end of the exam, you can return to questions that haven't been attempted yet.

Prior to the day of your exam, ensure you have all the necessary tools and material ready. You also need to start early to be better prepared for situations that can delay your journey to the exam center.
