The scenario: You spend nearly five minutes on a question and you answer the next few in under one minute each. You get them all wrong. You’ve probably hurt yourself psychologically at two points: when you realized that you took too long AND THEN when you answered the next questions too quickly. These realizations can be detrimental to your confidence and thought process going forward (anxiety anyone?).
After you realize that you may have spent too long to answer a question, take a breath.
Resist the urge to suddenly accelerate because that is exactly when you can make careless errors. Those are the questions you should not miss because you can control them. Only sacrifice questions if you know you are behind on time overall and only on questions you know you should let go. Pick your battles and get your points from the questions you are confident you can answer correctly, even if you have to slow down.
If you did take too long on a particular question, remember:
