One thing that has helped me with QR is being brutal with your triage. With most of the questions, you know straight away which formuale you are going to need based on the text so I scan the text/tables and if I don't know what they want within the first 10-15 seconds then I guess, flag and move on. This has helped me cover a lot more questions and then if you have time, you can go back and tackle them later.

I tried that aswell for example I avoid time or time consuming area sections but even on the questions I know how to do I'm to slow I've been practicing with time and on average out of 17 questions I get 9 or 10 correct

Have you got a numberpad on your keyboard? If you can get one and use one it can speed things up. Also try and practice with their calculator.

Yeah I've been practicing with a keyboard and mouse and the ucat calculator i just learn the shortcuts in the calculator to speed it up and it help especially since I've been writing down lots of number instead of using the memory function all I can do is practice and get better now
