Time Management on Exam Day

Managing Your Time Wisely

AP Macroeconomics exams are timed, so pacing is key. Allocate time for each section, don't get stuck on one question, and be sure to leave time to review your answers.

  • Set mini-deadlines for each part of the test.
  • Move on if you encounter a tough question and come back to it later.
  • Leave the last few minutes for checking your work and making sure all questions are answered.

Practicing with a timer at home can help you get comfortable with the exam's pace.

Examples

  • Spend no more than 1 minute per multiple choice question.

  • Reserve the last 5 minutes to review your FRQ answers for errors or missing parts.
