Pacing and Section Management

Mastering Your Test Pace

Keep an eye on the clock, and don't spend too long on any one question. If you’re stuck, move on and come back if you have time. Divide your time per question so you can finish each section without rushing at the end.

Why It Matters

Effective pacing helps you attempt every question and avoid the stress of running out of time in the final minutes.

Examples

  • Skipping a tough math problem and returning to it after finishing easier questions.

  • Checking the clock every 10 minutes to stay on track during the reading section.
