ook over the test and decide how much time you should spend on each
test item.
- First, figure out how much time you
have to finish the entire test. (e.g. 60 minutes)
- Next, figure out the total number of
questions on the test. (e.g. 30 questions)
- Then, divide the total time (60 minutes)
by the total number of questions (30 questions): 60/30 = 2.
You have 2 minutes to spend on each test question.
- If you can't figure out how much exact
time to spend on each question, just estimate. This will keep
you aware of time and move you along so that you don't spend
too much time on one question.

(just make sure to come back to it later).
If you find yourself spending a long
time answering a particular question, stop and move on to the
next question.
Try to return to the question after you
have answered the other questions. However, if you do not get
back to that question, chances are you will have answered many
other questions instead of spending so much time on one particular
question.
