<p>I just got through the whole section as fast as possible and went back over the ones I wasn't sure about</p>

3

<p>I usually have 5-10 minutes left over for a math section. However sometimes that shrinks to 2 if I get stuck on the last two problems</p>

<p>I usually have 30 sec to 2 minutes on critical reading</p>

<p>Wrting Section (25 minutes)
*Brainstroming for the essay:0 mins or secs
I dont keep track of time while writing the essay, I just write as much as I can, and I end up with 15-45 sec left. (got a 12)</p>

<p>Writing Section (25 minutes)
Usually have 1-2 minutes remaining</p>

<p>Writing Section (10 minutes) since it is all improving sentences,
*Improving Sentences: 10-60 seconds remaining</p>

<p>I also answer every question, and do not skip any questions and go back.</p>

<p>That's kind of complicated--you have to spend more time on harder questions. Ideally, for math, you should be flying through the early questions and spending a little time thinking on the harder ones, rarely less than two minutes for me. For CR, I rarely spend over a minute thinking about a question before moving on, same for writing. However, it's going to be difficult if you have an exact time concept in your head. You should internalize pacing by practicing a lot, it helped me.</p>

<p>I usually spend much more time on reading and writing, often using up all the total allotted time. On math, since I am better at it, there is 5 or less minutes left in which I use to go back to get those last icky questions that I skipped. So for math I recommend 30 sec- 1min for each quesiotn, depending on theh difficulty level. Like if they ask what is x+1= 3, then that would be less 30 sec (or less ) question. </p>

<p>For reading I spend 5 mins tops reading/skimming the entire section. Then I just skip around and do whatever is easier 1st.</p>
