Tips
Practice exams are MORE important than the video course. Use Review Mode before Timed Mode. Book the exam date early. Watch courses at 1.5x-2x speed, revisit tough topics at normal speed. Use process of elimination — look for 'most cost-effective' and 'highly available.' For ESL speakers, request the +30 min accommodation.
