   My advice would be to start doing practice questions as early as possible that way you can familiarize yourself with they way they are worded. It's also fun to do them with classmates. Then you can discuss why certain answers are wrong or right. I...

    PinkHoyt replied to JenLahaye's topic in General Students

    Using a "smart device" is a great suggestion, however in the program I attend we aren't allowed to use them on exams. Only a plain old fashion calculator is allowed. Thankfully you can pick them up pretty cheap.
