Just thinking with the MC if there's any calculator quick Qs you could get them worked out in reading time.

But reading time=no pens or highlighters but does that mean no calcs too?

Nope pretty sure you can't. For reading time, I personally wouldn't worry about working out the easy questions- you've got time for those in the test. Flick through the whole paper but look closely at the later ones and see if you can visualise what you have to do or understand the problem better etc. I know it sounds BS but your mind sort of does actually think about it so it can help heaps.

yea apparently if you look at the questions it works in your subconscious whilst working on the easier questions. so something like that

Ok thanks guys, I think I might read the last few Qs really thorough so my unconscious can start thinking about them. Or maybe just read the whole thing and note what Qs I'll have to be careful on (Qs I find more difficult, or will have to think about).

In the reading time for maths..
I just flick through the paper and think to myself "oh shit"...
I do the exact same for English too lol, probably the reason why I'm doing so bad -__-

In languages you can flip through dictionaries during reading time.
