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.
