From purely a statistics standpoint, this is your best bet. A math problem that takes 10 minutes to solve should definately be done last. Lastly, don't leave any answers blank, if you're almost out of time, guess the rest.

Not sure feel like it could go either way. Got through the whole test in two hours skipped all the calculations and questions I thought would take long. Then spent the last hour on calculations and trying to find the other ones. When time was up I had 4 that I couldnt find that I guessed on. So I think its going to be close one way or the other.

is your test still a paper test or is it electronic? I took my J-mans test in 07 and it was a paper version, passed. Then i took my masters in 11 and it was on a computer, i passed but i like taking paper tests better than the computer ones.

No Luck involved
I just never applied to take the J-Mans test. In Maryland very few places require the J-mans card, so I never took the test
When I was thinking about taking the J- mans test I already had enough time in to qualify for to take the master test so I did
