Pacing Yourself

Stay Calm, Stay On Track

Time management is key on the PSAT Writing section.

Tips for Great Pacing

  • Don't spend too long on one question.
  • Prioritize easier questions first.
  • Keep an eye on the clock and leave time to review your work.

Remember

It's better to finish and guess than to leave questions blank!

Examples

  • Skipping a tough question and coming back to it later.

  • Checking your answers if you finish early.
