Time Management Tips:
Prioritise the Quick Wins
Identify the question types you find easier or quicker (e.g., syllogisms or single-statement evaluations).
Tackle these first to build momentum and save time for more complex questions.
Use Diagrams and Tables
Organise information as you read - jot down key facts, draw flowcharts or tables to visualise relationships.
This can save time by preventing rereading and helping you spot logical connections faster.
Know When to Move On
If a question is taking too long, guess, flag, and skip - don't let one question eat into your time.
You can return to flagged questions if time allows at the end.
