5. Understand the Scope of the Exam

Knowing the scope of the exam will help you concentrate on what is covered and essential.
Given that you have limited time to prepare yourself, you will not waste time on content that will not be examined. If you feel that any area which is not part of the exam is essential, you can also go back to it later when you are done with the exam.
6. Get a Good Night's Sleep
The test day is tomorrow, and now you feel that you are well prepared. Even with thorough preparation, lack of enough rest or sleep can interfere with normal functioning during exams. You need to ensure that you have had enough rest and sleep days before the exam.

7. Wake Up Early
Here comes the exam day, make sure you wake up early, and in a relaxed manner, scan through your materials. You are just doing this to remind yourself. If you find that there are some areas that you may not have grasped, you can either decide to read through it, but if you feel that it is too much for you, just leave it. It may be difficult sinking in something new at this time. All of this should be done quickly. Do not strain at all.

During the exam, make sure you read each question carefully. They give you plenty of time to take the test, so go slow and answer them correctly the first time.
It will take more time if you try to speed through it and have to go back through the questions. Take the time, if you need it, to re-read the question until you are completely clear about what it is asking you.

You need to start with the questions which you feel are easy and can finish quickly, this will save you time and also increases the chance of completing the test. This will also make you less anxious because you will have more time to spend on the difficult ones.
10. Double-Check Your Work
Once you have answered all the questions, go through them all to check whether you may have missed any or change an answer. This will ensure that you don’t lose points for making any silly mistakes.
With these tips, you are ready to go, wish you all the best with your real estate exam!
