Oh, you're not alone, my friend! It seems like quite a few folks have found these assessments challenging, especially when it comes to time management. The tests are designed to be rigorous and assess a range of skills, so don't beat yourself up too much. Remember, it's not just about getting every question right, but also about demonstrating your ability to think critically under pressure. Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it!
