  3. During practice i have noticed that I could'nt manage time in fear of filling the incorrect bubble...any tips about that!

  4. In Entry Test Time management is very important , don't be afraid about filling bubbles, Usually they are considered correct if filled more than 90%.

    Just concentrate on studies the earlier you pick the question more time you have for filling the bubble
