What is the recommended test-taking approach for different subjects?
Start with biology and easy physics and chemistry, then move on to simple math. After that, tackle challenging biology, physics, and chemistry, followed by time-consuming math. Proceed to handle difficult physics, hard math, and return to skipped questions last. Lastly, persist on the toughest questions till the end and make educated guesses if necessary.
How can I maximize my score in the exam?
Focus on answering as many questions as possible in the exam, avoid insisting on difficult questions and underestimating easy ones, and recognize that the exam's scoring focus lies in challenging questions.
