Time Management for Reading Assessments

Mastering the Clock on Test Day

Reading assessments are timed, so it’s important to practice pacing yourself.

Time Management Tips

  • Skim the passage first to get the big picture.
  • Don’t spend too long on one question—move on and come back if needed.
  • Leave a few minutes at the end to review your answers.

Practicing these habits helps you stay calm and finish on time, showing what you really know!

Examples

  • You use a watch to keep track of time during practice tests.

  • You skip a tough question and return to it after answering the easier ones.
