Time Management on the SAT

Making Every Minute Count

On the SAT Writing section, you have limited time to answer each question. Good time management ensures you finish all questions and have time to check your work.

  • Allocate about 45 seconds per question.
  • Don’t get stuck on a single question—move on and come back later.
  • Save a few minutes at the end to review your answers.

Practicing under timed conditions can help you feel comfortable on test day!

Examples

  • Skipping a tricky question and returning to it after finishing the rest.

  • Using the last five minutes to double-check answers for careless mistakes.
