Any tips on preparing for test

i started reading that Discover Canada since i submitted application. I know it sounds silly but i just used the chance to get to learn about Canada!

I haven't seriously started preparing for test until AOR.

But going over all the flashcards and taking quiz on https://citizenshipcounts.ca/ definitely helped a lot! Not the mock test tho.
For mock test i purchased an app subscription for a week, like around $7?! A week later i took exam and nailed it.

In the real test, it's less facts, more like storytelling. It's easier to rule out wrong answers because they sounds funny and silly(don't laugh out loud during test ). You can spot most correct answers by a little bit thinking and guessing!

Good luck!
