How to make a good score for online assessment?

Many questions are slightly difficult but are interesting. Time is less easy to distract candidates. Candidates must be really focused, not distracted.

Good

The test was good, but if the simulation would match the actual test webpage it would add additional value to know the actual influence on mind.

Some are difficult

Main thing I disliked is that most of questions are UK Euro Canadian, when I am in Nigeria. At least some of the questions should be based on the person's location.
