Tips for a Top Performance

Before the competition

Try the sample questions on this website. Then you will know what to expect in the competition.
Get a good night’s sleep the night before so you are well rested on the day.

Read all the instructions carefully and fill out all your personal information clearly.
Read the questions carefully and re-read if necessary to make sure you have understood it correctly.
Record your answers by colouring in the bubble next to the right question number.
Make sure you answer every question. Each question has four possible answers. If you’re not sure, eliminate the options you know are incorrect and then select from what’s left.
If you get stuck on a question, put a mark next to it and come back to it later.
If you don’t know, guess. There is no penalty for getting an answer wrong.
Spend your time wisely. You have 50 minutes to answer 30 questions, which works out to two minutes for each question.
Bring in a spare pencil and some working paper.
