Time Management During the Exam

Make Every Minute Count

The STAAR EOC Writing exam is timed, so using your time wisely is crucial. Start by reading the instructions carefully, then plan your essay before you start writing. Leave a few minutes at the end to check your work and make corrections.

Tips for Time Management

  • Allocate time for planning, writing, and revising.
  • Don’t spend too long on any one part.
  • Move on if you get stuck and come back if you have time.

Examples

  • Spending 5 minutes outlining your essay before you write.

  • Leaving the last 10 minutes to check for grammar mistakes.
