Preparation tips

• With 2 marks per question and a 0.25 penalty for wrong answers, accuracy matters more than attempting everything.
• Reasoning and Maths carry the same weight as GK, so practise them daily.
• Part A marks are used first to break ties, so a strong reasoning score helps your rank.
• Start PET training (running) early. Many candidates clear the CBE but fail the race.
