DO:
1) Relax. Find a quiet distraction free location and open a beverage of choice.
2) READ each question and answer each question HONESTLY. Pay attention to words like "always" or "sometimes" and make sure you are answering the actual question asked.
3) Your immediate first answer is usually the one you want unless you misread the question
DO NOT:
1) Try to give the answer you THINK "they" want
2) Overthink a question
3) Change you answer based on 1 or 2
Nearly all the drama involving this test is caused by pilots either "trying too hard" (hard for type A types) or actually being deceptive in answers.
This test is not looking for perfect people, but it has built-in methods to red flag inconsistencies and deception.
Good luck!
Also, very important to take it when well rested. Tired can skew the results a bit.
