The classroom format helps students practice time management and avoid spending too long on difficult questions.
Practice with exam-style wording
Students need to recognize what the question is asking, compare plausible answers, and apply inspection judgment.
Know what can and cannot be referenced
Only a portion of questions can be answered through available PDF references on the testing computer, so retention and field-topic understanding matter.
