Is this fast enough?

<p>I’ve been taking many practice tests lately and I decided to write down how much time is left after I finish each section. I can’t recall where I read it, but somewhere it said that the ideal time is to only give yourself a fraction of the time the testers give you in order to help your speed and focus.</p>

<p>I finish each section usually in:</p>

<p>CR: ~7minutes ahead of time</p>

<p>W: ~5minutes ahead of time</p>

<p>M: ~5minutes ahead of time</p>

<p>This is my natural pace at which I take the practice tests, unless I am really struggling with one problem, these should be the times. Is this a comfortable amount of cushion I’m giving myself? I feel if I go faster, I’m giving up accuracy for speed and my scores will suffer.</p>

<p>Any recommendations?</p>

<p>Theoretically speaking, finishing with any amount of time remaining is fast enough :slight_smile: You’d at least be able to scan over your answers, checking for stupid mistakes/skipped questions.</p>

<p>Ideally, though? Your CR is pretty awesome. But W and M could definitely be better. 10 minutes to spare in M is great, and honestly, 15 minutes or so on each W multiple choice section would really be perfect.</p>

<p>If that sounds impossible, I’d like to assure you that it isn’t :3 You can easily blow through W multiple choice if you know the material they test every time, and finishing math in 10-15 minutes can easily come with practice.</p>

<p>Those are the buffers I worked with on test day, and they’ve paid off :)</p>
