Study Strategies

Time Management on the GMAT

Maximizing Efficiency

Time is your most limited resource on the GMAT. With less than two minutes per question, managing your pace is crucial.

Key Techniques

  • Skim questions first to identify easy wins
  • Set mini-milestones to stay on track
  • Move on if you're stuck—don't let one question eat up your time

Practice Strategy

Use a timer during practice sessions to build your sense of timing and learn to trust your instincts.

Examples

  • Skip a tough geometry question after 90 seconds and come back if time permits.

  • Finish the first 10 questions in 18 minutes to stay ahead of schedule.
