2. Each case study is worth 25 points total, which is broken down into 10 points for MCQs and 15 points for the case study descriptions. Take into account this grade distribution when choosing the elective paper.
3. Always choose the option in which you are proficient because English is the exam language.
4. Do your research and consider if you will have enough time to complete all of the case studies.
5. Learn how the paper can be applied in real-life situations so you can simply test it out before the final exam.
