About this lesson

In this 13-minute lesson, you'll learn the strategic approach that can make the difference between passing and failing your objective test exam. We'll walk you through a four-step framework designed to maximise your marks and manage the 90 minutes effectively: answering easy questions first to build confidence and bank marks early, reviewing incomplete questions you're fairly sure about, using the flag function to mark tricky questions for later review, and crucially, attempting every single question since there's no negative marking. You'll discover why rigid time management per question is counterproductive, and instead how to work in 15-minute blocks to stay on track without obsessing over the clock. The key insight is that not all 60 questions are equally difficult or lengthy, so the strategy prioritises low-hanging fruit first, then tackles progressively harder material as your confidence builds. This approach gives you the luxury of spending extra time on genuinely challenging questions without running out of time. We also cover practical techniques for when you're genuinely unsure of an answer. You'll learn how to use process of elimination—spotting obviously wrong options, identifying typically correct answer patterns, and recognising distractors—to improve your odds from 25% to 50% or better. The overarching principle is simple: never leave a question blank, stay conscious of time without being obsessive, and trust the preparation you've done to guide your instincts on exam day.
