2- Smile and calm down because the worst thing you can do is take the test again at half price.

3- Do a quick scan of the answers, Based on your understanding of the question, You’ll rule out at least two questions you think are wrong.

4- I solve problems in order first, Because you solve short problems that are one line long first, And then you move on to longer problems, Long issues are retained for the latter, And don’t think about it.

5- You will face questions where you will find complexity or there may be multiple answers. When you think about the answers, Suppose the situation is perfect and inexplicable.

12. When looking at an answer and wondering if it is the right answer, Select it and read all the answers, Then select the best answer.

13. Discuss the critical course and list the questions of the activity cycle numerically, You should draw them on paper before thinking about answering questions.
