Timing: the cheapest points on any paper
On a twenty-item, fifteen-minute paper, most lost marks are not failures of reasoning. They are failures of allocation.
One pass, then review
Answer everything you can inside 45 seconds. Mark the rest and return. Two hard items can eat the time that six easy ones needed.
Guess, always
With no penalty for a wrong answer, a blank is strictly worse than a guess. Eliminating two options takes a one-in-five chance to one-in-three.
Watch the weights
Harder items carry more points, but only if solved. A three-point item you cannot crack is worth less than two one-pointers you can.

Questions people ask
Should I answer in order?
Roughly. Difficulty rises through the paper, so the early items are the efficient ones.
What happens at zero?
The paper closes and is scored as it stands, so guess the remainder before the clock runs out.
