Study Strategies

Time Management During the Exam

Make the Most of Your Time

  • Divide your time between sections based on how many questions there are.

Start with questions you find easiest to build confidence.

  • Keep an eye on the clock—don't get stuck!
  • Leave a few minutes at the end to review your answers.

Good time management ensures you answer as many questions as possible.

Examples

  • Allocate 40 minutes to multiple choice and 50 minutes to free-response sections.

  • Skip and return to any questions that seem too tough at first.
