Effective Time Management

Manage Your Minutes

With only 30 minutes for 12 questions, time is precious on the IR section. Start by quickly scanning each question to gauge its difficulty and decide whether to answer or skip (you can return if time allows). Use process of elimination, avoid getting stuck on hard questions, and keep an eye on the clock. Practicing with a timer will help you build a natural rhythm.

Examples

  • Allocating 2 minutes per question and moving on if unsure.

  • Using a watch or on-screen timer to stay on track.
