Don’t necessarily start at the beginning of the exam. Start at a place that you feel comfortable/confident, and then go back to parts that are more difficult for you.
Along with this, do the questions you KNOW and feel CONFIDENT about– don’t waste time being “stuck” on a question. Put a star next to those difficult questions and do them last.
