Did you start with In-Basket or questions?
Permalink  

I am curious to know which direction most people went with the test. For the Sgt test I did the In-basket first, then questions.

This test I decided to do the questions first, since I got all the In-Basket right on the Sgt exam and focus myself on the questions while I was fresh.

I know alot of people did not finish the exam, I am curious if most people did the In-Basket first and spent too much time on it. There was no way you would know what was coming towards the end.

I finished with about 10 minutes to spare..and I was fried.

soon as the exam started i wrote down the time and always start with the PG questions first or whatever you wanna call those things.... kept pace with the clock and then hit that travesty of an in basket... then quickly went back over a few of the questions and that was that

I did the inbasket first since that is my strong suit. Glad I got it out of the way. I didn't have a watch so I read as fast as I could and ended up finishing with about an hour left.
