2. Understand the exam format: Familiarize yourself with the specific format of the test you will be undertaking. Knowing the structure and types of questions will allow you to focus your preparation accordingly.

3. Practice past papers: Obtain past papers or sample questions from previous exams. This will give you an idea of the types of questions, difficulty level, and time constraints you may face on the day of the exam.

4. Time management: Train yourself to manage your time effectively during the exam. Practice solving questions within the given time limits to improve your speed and accuracy.
