You will only hear the propositions
once. The questions come and go
quickly, the test is long and the types
of questions are not very varied. So it
is very easy to lose track.
Besides, you will often have doubts
between several answer choices and will
not have enough time to answer.
If a new question is announced and you
have not yet answered the previous
question, answer randomly and
concentrate on the next question.
Don't try to backtrack.
