Phase 4: Strategy & Execution

Test-taking strategies, memory techniques, and your final readiness checklist

Time Management (45 Minutes / 20 Questions)

• Average: ~2 minutes 15 seconds per question
• First pass (30 min): Answer every question you're confident about. Flag uncertain ones.
• Second pass (10 min): Return to flagged questions. Eliminate obviously wrong options.
• Final pass (5 min): Review all answers. Don't change unless you're certain.

Elimination Technique

When unsure, eliminate options you KNOW are wrong:

• Any option with "President" → WRONG (Canada has no President)
• Any option giving federal government control over education or health care → WRONG
• Any option referencing events/dates that seem too recent or too old for the context → suspicious

Key Principle: Don't Overthink

• The test is based on Discover Canada — answers are straightforward
• If two options seem correct, choose the one most directly supported by the guide
• Your first instinct is usually right — only change if you're genuinely certain
