Managing Your Time

Keep Calm and Move On

Pacing is key on the SAT. Don’t get stuck on one question! If something’s tricky, make your best guess and move forward. Save time for reviewing your answers at the end.

Tips

  • Watch the clock and keep a steady pace.
  • Skip and return to tough questions.
  • Don’t leave any answers blank—guess if you must!

Examples

  • Marking tough questions to revisit during extra time.

  • Finishing easier questions first to build confidence.
