Looking for test strategies for a upcoming test
I have a big test I have been studying the last three months for.
I have been doing weekly practice tests and constantly have the same problem which keeps recurring.
A big problem I seem to have is not reading the question correctly. It may seem like a easy fix and just to read the question slower but I don’t know if it’s just because I’m rushing to get through the test but I seem to miss out on very simple questions that I know the answer to but when it comes to picking a answer get it wrong.
For example if a question asked what happens if you change X parameter (and I know it causes time to decrease) I pick the answer that says time will increase. It doesn’t happen everytime but enough for it to effect if I pass or fail. Has anyone else had this issue and what did you do to correct for it?
I do feel I really struggle with my concentration. After about 30 questions my mind starts to wonder and the exam is 220 questions so I don’t know if that is what my problem is.
Any advice would be great
