1. Compile as many cheat sheets and templates as possible
2. Find a rubric from a past exam
3. Create a cheat sheet which has every single part of the rubric on it in order (the order is important because that is how the marker will go through it). Include the marks for each section and the time for each part in the sheet.
4. Create templates messages for all possible qualitative parts.
5. Model and refine the excel sheet so it is formatted in an easy way to follow.

Prep

1. Complete two quantitative portions of past exams and think about the qualitative aspect.
2. Sleep—9 hours of sleep is the best preparation of all

In-Exam notes

1. Copy and paste and match with examplify’s format
2. Stay on time. Do not deviate from the rubric based schedule by more than 5 minutes on any part—move on and come back.
3. Think about everything from a “does this make sense” point of view. And focus all efforts on coming up with the best solution.
