If you are planning to do online test, make sure that antivirus is uninstalled. For me antivirus pop up came on RHS bottom of screen and test algorithm asked me weather you have opened new window. i said No.
But my application went for review and delayed the process by one month
this is scary :-(
i had the pdf and test invite email open in 2 other windows from before the test began till it ended. i didn't switch to those windows but they were there in the backdrop. huh.

exam will never be the same as the practice tests we all use (apnatoronto.com, richmond hill library etc.) but yes you get good familiarity with these practice tests. i personally found this faster/easier than reading the study guide. as for dates or names, try to find some "patterns" in the numbers or names in connection with the question, so as to create some recall value for the qn answer combination. like in my practice tests, there was some qn about some battle in June of some year, and its answer was JUNO beach. etc.
Thanks for your revert, that really helps..! so for the test you used apnatoronto.com and richmond anything else/?

did you pass the test ? can you please the links as discover canada has so many info like dates years and hard to remember
I am on same boat as you. Dates and years are trouble maker. But I would say read the book and try remember as much as you can. Remember you are still allowed to get 5 wrong. So try doing the easy ones first and get 15 right.

Was it easy?

My husband and I both found it pretty easy, although he struggled a little with remembering the names!
But we both found working through the online practice tests and especially going through the booklet a couple times really made it simpler
There is no getting around the fact that going through the booklet is the best chance for the test

Definitely needed to remember a lot of the names related to the history of Canada and who did what when.
Also, I personally found that just reading through the questions slowly and then answering helps too - the questions are not a direct match to the online practice tests, but they ask for the same information, so going through the practice test questions (and correlating them with the information in the booklet) can make the facts stick better in your brain (it did for me anyway :))

To be honest 30 minutes is MORE than enough time to answer all the questions, review any questions you are unsure of, and submit your test.
I think everyone has more than average chance of scoring 20/20

Do we have the option to skip the hard questions and then come back to it later? Like do the easy ones first and then do the hard ones

Hi guys, I had a GU update on Jan14th in the tracker. I'm wondering how long usually it takes to see BG complete.
