Study with Books (Strong Foundation)

Books give you structure and deep practice.

3. Simple Tips for Success

  • Know the Format: Before you study, understand the test. How many questions? How much time? You can find this information on the official test websites.

  • Practice Every Day: It is better to study for 30 minutes every day than for 4 hours only one day a week.

  • Learn From Mistakes: Check your answers. Why was your answer wrong? Understanding your mistake is how you improve.
