Good luck
1. Napoleon is famous for this quote:
"good luck is typically with he who has the most cannon."
2. Not sure who said this:
"Luck is just what we call it when preparation finally meets opportunity."
3. From experience, here:
---skim the test quick. Categorize everything into three classes of questions.
those you're almost certain you know the answer cold. Circle those questions.
those you're bewildered by, and are pretty sure you have little to no idea
those things you think you might be able to figure it out, or at least narrow it down.
Quickly begin.
Rip through the things you're pretty sure you know.
Be quick about it. Cross them off. Never second guess yourself.
you will be surprised how easy it is to overthink it, and talk yourself out of the correct answer.
in a high pressure, limited time format? Always go with your first quick hunch.
you will be surprised how many times you "thinked" your way out of the correct answer.
you now have almost all the test time, to attack the things you are uncertain about, but not clueless.
what can you eliminate. what can you figure out, or get close.
remember... go with first hunches. resist the urge to change them.
you can now spend the remaining time, trying to figure out some way to attack the "impossible" questions.
