You need to be familiar with the alphabetical sequence, take a pen & paper to write a,b,c,d and play with it during the session. Even I find these questions a bit confusing and irritating and time consuming too 😐. I have 40 questions but we'll aim to solve only 20, if time permits and your brain doesn't go dizzy we can move on with the next
