Time Management on the Exam

Manage Your Exam Time Like a Pro

  • Allocate your time for each section and stick to it.
  • Don’t get stuck on one question—move on and return if you have time.
  • Budget extra minutes to review your answers at the end.

Practicing full-length exams will help you build your pacing skills and confidence.

Examples

  • Setting a timer for each essay to avoid rushing at the end

  • Skipping tricky questions and returning to them later
