<p>Take timed practice tests. Timed. You shouldn’t worry too much about elegant explanations and discourse during the exam. What you want is quick and dirty. Identify as many issues and quasi issues as possible, spit out possible resolution and move on. This is why taking timed tests are so important in my view. You have to train your brain to hit an issue quick and move on. There is a tendency to get into long winded discussions over multiple cups of coffee when you’re studying in groups. Its interesting, but I don’t think it helps for finals.</p>
