50/50 is better than 25/75
DON’T PANIC
There will be things you don’t know
 Throw OUT - the wrong answers
DOT the guesses - check them later

          MOVE ON!
     It’s about PASSING
    NOT GETTING AN A
It’s about PASSING
    NOT GETTING AN A

If you use the dots, you should
    know if you going to pass
     before you turn it in!!
