Tip #7: "If you are a slow starter, do a few problems in the morning to get yourself going — just like a marathon runner stretching before the big race."

I always wondered when I'd have the time to do the PM session of the PMBR Blue Book sample MBE. Now I know.

The last few days before the exam can be stressful. To help alleviate some of the pressure and help you remember the small things, here are Kaplan PMBR's top 10 exam tips:

10. A correct statement of law is usually a better answer choice than a correct statement of fact.

9. An "if" answer choice that presents a true contingency is a better answer choice than a "because" choice that presents a true conclusion.

8. Even though there are 24 hearsay exceptions, the "inadmissible as hearsay not within any recognized exception" answer is most often correct.

7. If you are a slow starter, do a few problems in the morning to get yourself going—just like a marathon runner stretching before the big race.

6. Make your Game Day preparations: Get a good night's sleep. Eat a healthy breakfast. Bring extra pencils. Dress in layers. Set an extra alarm clock. Bring your lunch. And don't forget to plan your route to the exam location!

5. Read the "Caveats" section in the back of the Volume II blue book. It has great last minute test-taking pointers.

4. To complete the exam on time, your goal should be to complete 36 questions per hour; mark your exam accordingly to keep yourself on track. If you find yourself in a time crunch, skim the answer choices to the long property questions, pick a hornbook-sounding answer, and keep going!

3. Don't second-guess yourself—it will undermine your confidence. Stick with your first answer choice and keep going!

2. Identify the cause of action in the question to create a funnel to the correct answer choice—the right answer will relate to the cause of action.
