is time limit a problem?

<p>Is time limit really a problem? because whenever I take a practice test, I finish 10 (on average) before the time is done for that section.
People on this site are always saying that they ran out of time, is it because during the test cc’ers are nervous?</p>

<p>I don’t know many people who have a time problem on the SAT. However, a lot of people have issues on the ACT.</p>

<p>it should vary for each individual and the way they approach the problems.</p>

<p>when you take a practice test, there isnt much stress, so you can go quickly and not feel worried. On the real test however, you may tend to get some serious trepedation and double/triple check and second guess yourself in your worry. In no time, the proctor calls 5 min and you realize you still have 15 questions! (this happened to me on SAT Physics).</p>

<p>I’d say the only time crunch that I have on practice tests/real thing when I took it was in the reading section, but I’m working on that and getting good at it time-wise.</p>

<p>I end up with like 3 minutes now, instead of like before when I finished as the final seconds were counting down.</p>

<p>Here’s what college board says about their time limits:</p>

<p>

Much effort is made to ensure that most students are given enough time to attempt every question on the test. But even if more time were given, not all students would be able to answer all the questions.</p>

<p>Studies are done to find out whether most students have enough time to attempt to answer all the questions in each test section. These studies show that time limits are appropriate if all students taking the test answer 75 percent of the questions in each section and if 80 percent reach the last question in the section. Based on studies like these, the time limits are appropriate for the majority of students.</p>

<p>Students with Disabilities may request extended time for taking the SAT.</p>
