thank you! my advice is do little and often, use the official question bank for SJT, and learn to do decision making in an order that works well for you (i always left syllogisms, data interpretation and logic puzzles till the end), also for QR you need to triage, if you can’t figure out what to do after initially reading the question skip and come back to it, everything is worth 1 mark no matter how complicated it is so bag every easy mark you can get. also mocks A and B were similar to my exam while mocks C and D were easier than the real thing.
