Time Management on the SSAT Verbal Section

Beating the Clock

Managing your time is key to finishing all questions on the SSAT Verbal section. Start by skimming through the section to see how many questions there are. Divide your time evenly, but don’t spend too long on any one question. If you get stuck, skip ahead and come back later. Always keep an eye on the clock!

Tips

  • Bring a watch or use the test room clock.
  • Mark tricky questions to return to if you have extra time.
  • Don’t rush, but don’t get stuck either.

Examples

  • If you spend one minute per question, you’ll finish on time.

  • Skipping a hard analogy and returning after finishing easier questions.
