Practise timing without guessing official details
In the simulator, start with short controlled sessions. Read the stem, remove weak options, and choose with a clear reason. Once accuracy is steady, increase session length so timing becomes part of your preparation rather than a surprise.
The RCDD Practice Test includes 88 practice questions on QZ9. Use it to measure two different things: content readiness and response discipline. If timing is fine but misses are clustered, go back to the RCDD exam objectives. If answers are mostly correct but slow, practise reading the scenario and deciding faster.
The best format habit is simple: after each session, mark whether your miss came from time pressure, a misunderstood term, or a weak concept. That makes the next session more useful than repeating the same mistakes with a different score.
