What's the best strategy for P1 exam to get the top mark?

I would suggest a strategy that helped me and most of my classmates to get the top grade. Don't be afraid of P1, because it should be the easiest component of your overall grade. Once you understand the basic strategy you don't need to worry about P1 and you can easily get full marks. First of all, use your 5 minute reading time wisely by reading as many of the provided texts as possible. Always look carefully for what the questions are asking for, and follow instructions or you will lose marks. If you don't know an answer or can't find it easily, skip the question! Only read the texts if you can't grasp sentences out of contect - usually you can just skim the needed facts and words without wasting time on the entire text. Finally, once you're done return to the hardest questions. This way you should have plenty of time to even go through your answers once more.
