First, when answering a question, check its “difficulty level”. He said, “It’s like the old Clash song ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go.” Should you stay a little longer to answer the question or move on to the next? He suggest one should practice the “30 second starters”, meaning if you can’t answer the question within 30 seconds, you move on to the next. This will give you an idea which questions are easy and which ones you should get back to later on.
Ryan shares students should not be afraid to skip a question and don’t panic when they find a question that they might not be able to answer all of them.
