Mastering the Clock

Time is precious on the GRE! Each math section has a strict time limit, so knowing how to pace yourself is key.

  • Practice with a timer to get used to working under pressure.
  • Skip questions that stump you and return to them if you have time left.
  • Don’t spend too long on any one question—move on and maximize your score!

Staying calm and organized will help you finish strong.

Examples

  • Allocate 2 minutes per question and mark tough ones to revisit.

  • Use the last 2 minutes to review flagged problems.
