Tomorrow i take the written test, and from what I've been told they give you the information to be tested on,study for 20 min, then have 3hrs to complete 100 questions.
I'm not the best test taker, any suggestions or tips that helped you through your test?

Hi Monica,

That doesn't sound much like any test I've ever taken. I'm guessing the best thing to do would be, first of all, relax when you sit down with the information they give you. If you're nervous and rushing, you'll make it harder to understand and remember what you're reading.

Next, look at the information in terms of size. Is it the kind of thing you can easily read in 20 minutes? If it is, read it carefully. If not, skim it to get the flavor of the information. When you've got a grasp of what it's about, go back and re-read what seems like the important parts.

Good luck with your test!

Congratulations, Monica!

There's another thread that has some good information about preparing for an interview. I've bumped it up for you.

Good luck!
