Managing Your Time on the ISEE

You have a limited amount of time for each section, so it’s important to pace yourself. Don’t spend too long on one question—move on and come back if you have time.

Time-Saving Tips

  • Skim the question and answer choices before reading closely.
  • Answer easy questions first, then tackle the tougher ones.
  • Keep an eye on the clock, but don’t rush!

Managing your time well ensures you get to every question and reduces stress on test day.

Examples

  • Skipping a difficult synonym question and returning to it later.

  • Checking the time every few questions to stay on track.
