smaller sections and allocate specific time for each section

time on a single question; if you are unsure of the answer, move on
and come back later; that way, you can use the time to answer other
questions that you are more confident about

By learning how to work quickly and efficiently, students
can increase their chances of completing the test within the time limit
and achieving a high score

individualized support and instruction

students to develop test-taking strategies and to build their
confidence

structure and study plan for the student
