Attend as much questions as you are confident to answer in the first go.
The questions that you don’t know should be flag marked. Same time write the question number in a paper with document number as heading.
So in the first try you will do two things. first you will answer the questions that you know and will write down the question numbers that you have to refer with code name as heading. This is to be noted in a paper.
Second take the code which is very easy for you. Open it and try yo answer all the questions that you noted below that code heading in the paper. Strike out the question numbers once it is answered.
Then take the next difficult document and answer those questions by referring the document.
This way you can complete the entire exam.
When referring to the code, don’t waste much time searching for an answer. Skip if it is not available in the first try. This you can search after answering all the easiest questions.
There are 3 free downloadable documents in that list. Download it and keep with you for the exam. you can do necessary marking on that for easy referring. You can try to complete the questions from this document in the first try.
