• Leave 10 minutes for proofreading answers (grammar and clarity are critical).

Subject-Specific FAQs

• Q: Are diagrams/flowcharts allowed in TEE answers?: Yes, but only for communication models (Block 2) or report structures (Block 5). Label them clearly and explain in 2-3 sentences.
• Q: How should I approach case studies?: Follow the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for answers. Prioritize case studies from Block 1 and Block 4 as they are frequently tested.
