For the first three attempts, don’t worry about the time limit.
ATTEMPT 1
The first time, aim for at least 40%. Look at the answers you got wrong and read the relevant sections in the chapter again to fix your learning gaps.
ATTEMPT 2
The second time, aim for at least 60%. Look at the answers you got wrong and read the relevant sections in the chapter again to fix any remaining learning gaps.
ATTEMPT 3
The third time, aim for at least 75%. Once you score 75% or more, you start working on your timing.
Tip
You may take more than three attempts to reach 75%. That’s okay. Just review the relevant sections in the chapter till you get there.
Target: Your aim is to keep the score the same while trying to answer these questions as quickly as possible. Here’s an example of how your next attempts should look like:
Attempt | Score | Time Taken |
Attempt 5 | 77% | 21 mins 30 seconds |
Attempt 6 | 78% | 18 mins 34 seconds |
Attempt 7 | 76% | 14 mins 44 seconds |

Note
The time limits shown in the above table are just examples. Set your own time limits with each attempt based on the time limit of the quiz on the website.
With each new attempt, your score should stay above 75% while your time taken to complete should decrease. Repeat as many attempts as you want till you feel confident dealing with the time pressure.
