Time Management

Making the Most of Your Test Time

You have a limited amount of time on the ISEE, so it’s important to keep moving and not get stuck on one question.

How to Manage Your Time

  • Answer the easy questions first.
  • If a question is too hard, skip it and come back later.
  • Keep track of time so you can finish all the questions.

Why It Matters

Using your time wisely helps you stay calm and do your best!

Examples

  • Skipping a tough analogy and going back to it after finishing the rest.

  • Checking the clock every few questions to make sure you’re on track.
