Dave Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Personally, I hate these kind of things (I did the British equivalent and failed miserably ) but the best way of training for these things is to tackle lots of past questions. They're written in a certain style - you can train yourself to a certain extent. I never saw the appeal personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever i'm study for a maths tests i just do as many examples of the questions as possible. I never try and learn formulas. If you do enough questions, the formulas will be planted firmly in your head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
