Many GMAT students focus solely on mastering concepts but forget that timing is just as critical as accuracy. You might be able to solve a problem in 5 minutes, but on test day, you often have less than 2 minutes per question.
Remember, the GMAT is a test of decision-making under time pressure. Spending too much time on one tough question can cost you easier points later. Instead of aiming for perfection on every question, train yourself to recognize when to move on.
If you were taking the GMAT with unlimited time, mastering every question would be ideal. But in reality, you need to balance speed and accuracy. To improve your pacing, practice with timed sets and track where you lose time. Learn to make quick, strategic guesses when necessary, so you don’t run out of time before reaching the last question.
Additionally, stick to a clear time-management strategy. For example, on the Quant section, you might aim to finish 10 questions every 20 minutes. This keeps you on track and prevents last-minute panic.
