Suggestions:

Work all the problems. Guess, if necessary.
Check your work by substituting answers back into the original problem.
Check all simplifications by redoing question on a clean sheet of scrap paper.

Reminder:

It is a multiple choice exam. If you guess at any question and get it correct, no one will know except you. Study the questions you got correct as well as the ones you missed.
