This is my first tip and trick to passing your test. These tips work for all tests, not just for one certain test. This particular page is focusing on those parts that many struggle will, wither it's the electronics or the math. The tip here is to not sweat it. I'll show why further down the page, but the math is just a small part of most tests. If you skip the parts you just don't understand and ace everything else, you can still pass. While the question pool is big, you only get a few questions from each segment. Make sure you know everything else and try to memorize the questions on the test you just aren't understanding. Look at how many questions are in pool and determine what you could skip, guess on, and still pass.
