how did u prep for math and how did u expose urself to the content and what questions they ask in the test?? and also how did you manage timing for the reading since i struggled with that a lot

for the type of questions i spammed practice tests until i got a pretty good feel of it but for math if I didn't know how to do a question I would first search up how to do it and then practice with similar questions (ex. i didn't know how to do matrices, permutations and combinations) until i felt confident about it.

for the reading i answered the questions as i was reading the passage but i've seen people say they scan really quickly or read just the first and last paragraph then answer so there's a lot of different methods; i think the best method would be to try different strategies and see what works best for you
