Seasoned test-takers know that triaging questions—addressing the straightforward items first and deferring ambiguous ones—maximizes the score per unit of time.

Analyzing incorrect answers with forensic attention reveals patterns in one's reasoning—systematic blind spots that no amount of superficial practice will remedy.

#18
Ultimately, exam preparation is less about the volume of hours invested than about the intentionality behind each study session.
歸根究底，考試準備與其說是投入時間的多寡，不如說是每次學習環節背後的意圖性。
