Time Management During the Test

Make Every Minute Count

The ISEE has time limits, so managing your time is super important!

  • Skip and return: Don’t get stuck on one hard question—move on and come back if you have time.
  • Pace yourself: Keep an eye on the clock and try to finish each section in the time you’ve planned.
  • Mark your answers: If you’re unsure, make your best guess; there’s no penalty for wrong answers.

These strategies help you finish more questions and boost your score.

Examples

  • Finishing easier questions first to save time for tricky ones.

  • Using a watch to keep track of how much time is left in the section.
