Time Management for the GRE Biology Test

Manage Your Minutes

With 170 questions and a strict time limit, it's important to pace yourself! Practice answering questions quickly, skip difficult ones and return to them if time permits, and keep an eye on the clock. Use practice tests to find your natural speed and improve it.

Tips

  • Answer easy questions first
  • Avoid getting stuck for too long
  • Reserve a few minutes at the end to review flagged questions

Examples
