Schedule test during the week, I’m told weekends are usually full and noisier
Verify address of location
Drive to location day prior
Get a good night sleep
Wear comfortable clothes
Arrive a few minutes early
Locker may be issued
Leave phone in car
Eat prior and take a snack for your breaks
Take water/Red Bull
Use restroom just prior
Area may be noisy—take ear plugs, their over the ear gave me a headache
Read question twice, answer in your head & choose if it’s a choice
Go with first choice unless you can prove otherwise
In "All of the above" and "None of the above" choices, if you are certain one of the statements is true don't choose "None of the above" or one of the statements are false don't choose "All of the above“
A positive choice is more likely to be true than a negative one
Don’t forget…too long to be wrong
Survey at the end will make your heart stop
One more thing…………..Relax!
Begins the Day You Pass the Exam
