The way I recall Level I is that the questions per se weren't tremenduously difficult if you had had plenty of time. What is extremely difficult, however, is that you're so pressed for time. You have to make up your mind in a split second, the alternative answers look almost as plausible. Imagine yourself sitting there, grabbing one question after another... 1.5 minute for each one... you have just taken 50 questions head on ... snap... snap... snap... and you know you just simply have to press on, another 70 questions to go. The afternoon session was even more gruelling because you're tired from the morning session and a bit sleepy from having had your lunch. Snap... snap... snap... 120 questions to go.

My advice to you, karan, is that you skip the concept checkers for now, except those you've missed, and try the practice exams that go with the Schweser material. You should also get used to jotting down the answers and sketches you draw not on scratch paper but cram it in right on top of the booklet itself. Cross out wrong answers straight away, encircle key words such as "least plausible" or "most likely" so you don't pick the opposite to what they're asking for simply by mistake.
