Time Management During the Test

Manage Your Minutes

The SSAT Quantitative section is timed, so it's important to keep track of how much time you spend on each question. If a problem is too tricky, skip it and come back later! Use your watch or the clock in the room to pace yourself so you have time to review.

Tips for Effective Time Use

  • Answer easier questions first to build confidence.
  • Mark difficult problems to revisit if you have time left.
  • Avoid spending too long on any single question.

Examples

  • Answering all the questions you know first, then returning to the challenging ones.

  • Leaving a tough question blank and coming back after finishing the rest.
