Time Management on Test Day

Beating the Clock

Managing your time on the GRE Verbal section is crucial. You only have about 1.5 minutes per question, so it's important to work efficiently.

  • Pace Yourself: Don’t spend too long on any one question. Mark tough questions and return to them if time allows.
  • Stay Calm: If you get stuck, take a deep breath, skip the question, and tackle the next one.
  • Practice with Timers: Simulate real test conditions during your prep to build speed and confidence.

Strong time management helps ensure you answer every question and maximize your score.

Examples

  • You realize you're spending too long on a comprehension question and decide to move on, returning to it later.

  • You use a practice timer during study sessions and gradually improve your speed.
