Time Management for Reading Passages

Mastering the Clock

The Praxis exam is timed, so managing your minutes is crucial! Good time management helps you read every passage and answer all questions confidently.

Smart Strategies

  • Skim the passage first to get the gist.
  • Don’t get stuck on one tough question—move on and come back if time allows.
  • Allocate a set amount of time to each passage and question set.

With practice, you’ll find your own rhythm and avoid last-minute rushes.

Examples

  • Setting a timer for each passage during practice tests to improve pacing.

  • Moving on from a confusing question and returning at the end with a fresh perspective.
