The part that resonated in the guide for me was the control questions, and identifying the expected lies. Dealing with those is all I ever did. Your goal during the test is to raise the output from the control questions as high as possible.
For example, the control question I got in at least 7 examinations was the same: "Have you ever stolen anything in your life?"
When I heard the question, I did three things at once:
1) Mentally tried to divide 1717 by 3, over and over, knowing that I would not solve it and allowing that to make me anxious.
2) Increase my rate of breathing(pretend you are inflating party balloons).
3) Tense my entire body, by imagining fire ants crawling up my legs, about to reach my groin.
A few seconds later(don't wait to long), I answered "no". The examiner pauses, and asks if I have told him the truth. I confess to petty crimes such as stealing candy from my sister as a young child, and further confess I knew it at the time I answered, but was ashamed to tell him.
There will be several more control questions, and some of them(obvious ones) will be of that type(an expected lie, but not relevant to the topic of the examination). When you give the expected lies, you want to raise the baseline. When you give expected truths(such as "Are the lights on in this room?"), you want to answer normally. The end goal, is that any response your body has to a real conceived lie, should be lower than what you exhibited during the control questions for expected lies.
