How to prepare International Relations for your test
Work one topic at a time, not the whole subject. Reading International Relations end to end feels productive and is the slowest way to raise a score. Pick a single topic, solve its MCQs until you are consistently above 80 percent, and only then move on. There are 8 to get through.
Read the explanation on every question you get wrong. This is the whole reason to practise online rather than from an answer key. A wrong answer is only useful if it tells you which fact you were missing, so every International Relations MCQ here carries a written explanation and no question can be published without one.
Finish with mixed, timed practice. Recalling a fact under the clock is a different skill from recognising it while you revise, and it is the one the paper actually tests. Once several topics feel solid, sit a timed test that mixes them rather than practising one topic at a time.
