Before you go and try and cheat your way into the job, please think very carefully about why you really want this position. Although having a job is definitely a desirable thing, especially during these tough economic times, do you really want to work in a clerks's job that you did not prepare for or even try to secure legitimately? Will having the job really help your overall circumstances more than having no job at all? Are there any other career options available that can truly bring long-term financial security?

Answering questions honestly on tests won't prevent people from getting jobs that they are actually qualified for but lying will most likely land someone in trouble with potential employers later on - it's easy to verify credentials these days. Even if the person somehow still got the position using false information and was successful in keeping it for a while, it would ultimately be demoralizing to have something of substance taken from them by virtue of deceitfulness. Investing time into studying for test items one might find difficult may be quite worthwhile as well since taking steps towards securing knowledge can always serve as leverage towards gaining various sorts of life-enhancing benefits (whether monetary or not) ultimately bestowing better living situations onto oneself or family regardless if one finds him/herself employed permanently or temporarily until something else comes along.

Take time before the test to become familiar with the rules and format, so you are prepared for any potential questions. During the test itself, pay close attention in order to answer all the questions correctly. After the test is over, thank all of your interviewers personally and let them know how much you value their consideration of your application. Good luck!
