So I only studied the quantitative section and that what only matters for the university I want to attend. Any tips before doing the test?
Thank you,

Evaluate upfront the questions before to jump into it

Also do first DI and PS then QCQ. usually, they are the fastest to solve

Good Luck

Thank you,


Hi there!

Keep calm! This is the best thing you can do. Other than this, the most important thing is to read the questions very very carefully. Confirm what you found and what was asked this might hardly take 5-10 secs

All the best👍

Kind regards

I can understand why should I do DI first but why PS?

Thank you very much

Because PS could be time-consuming

Difficult and tricky first

Instead, QCQ if you are in hurry and, for instance, see a question in which you do have two fractions and the variable is > 0 and could be an integer or a fraction the answer is probably D in 5 seconds.

However, this is my opinion NOT a golden rule
