  • Don’t panic if you hit a question or two you’re not sure about. Remember, you don’t need to get 100%, you just need to pass. Take your time reading the question and narrow down the answers to as few options as possible and make an educated guess if you’re unsure.

Have your paperwork ready to go the night before as well, which should in turn help you get a good night’s sleep. If you show up feeling relaxed and confident it will show in your results.
