Treat sponsorship as a financing decision plus a career commitment, not simply free tuition.

The value depends on the repayment terms, required return period, opportunity cost, and how likely you are to want a different path after school.

Compare the sponsorship value with the expected compensation and options you may give up during the commitment period.

Read the written terms carefully and model both staying and leaving scenarios before deciding.

Counting a lucky correct answer as a miss made my practice stats uglier but much more useful.

This is where live mocks helped more than solo prep for me because you get used to the awkward moment itself.

I would also keep notes on which assumption created the problem. Otherwise it is easy to repeat the same mistake next mock.

For final rounds especially, I think calm delivery matters as much as the exact wording.
