Screens, Scrolling, and Flags: Hacks for the Computer-Based Test — Selective online practice for the NSW exam

The Tool Belt Since 2022, the test has been on a computer platform called Janison. It has built-in tools that can save your life—if you know how to use them.

The "Flag" Button: If you are stuck on a hard question, do not stare at it. Click the "Flag" icon at the top of the screen. This marks the question so you can instantly jump back to it at the end. Rule: Never leave a question blank. Guess, Flag, and Move on. If you have time, come back. If not, at least you have a guess in the system.

The Strike-Through Tool: You can right-click (or use the tool) to cross out answers you know are wrong. This clears your mind. Instead of choosing 1 out of 4, you are now choosing 1 out of 2.

The Timer: There is a countdown timer on the screen. Don't hide it. You need to know when you have 5 minutes left so you can ensure every question has an answer clicked.
