How do you effectively manage your time?
Two hours a day, 4-6pm and 9-10pm. On weekends, this increases to three to four hours a day. I find if I switch all distractions and just concentrate for those hours I can get a fair bit done. As I get closer to the deadline, I'll increase this.- FreddyS

Abstract reasoning test advice
Hey - I'm pretty sure this is where I got practice tests from: https://www.jobtestprep.co.uk/shl-logical-inductive-reasoning. If it's the same one, I think the only real advice I can give is to practice as much as possible. That'll give you an idea of what to expect and increase your speed for...- FreddyS
