That is funny. If I try to do that, I will have a brain hemorrhage during the practice test, let alone the real thing.

:lol: it easy for such numbers as 5,10,15....

I multiple in my mind current question by 2 and add left minutes. the result has to be less than 75 (~70 in Verbal)

For example, 17 question, left 37 mins: 17*2+37=71 - I'm at normal pace.

That is funny. If I try to do that, I will have a brain hemorrhage during the practice test, let alone the real thing.

Me too! :wink: For Math I think that for every 15 min interval I should be greater than the applicable multiple of 7.

For instance 60 mins remaining > 7
45 mins > 14
etc...

And for verbal I do the same but with multiples of 8. This usually keeps me on pace.

Do any of you guys use a progress grid for verbal? To tally how much of each questions type you have seen (RC, CR, SC) so when you are in a time crunch you have a better estimate of what to expect.

If so how do you this, what is your approach? And how do you utilize the scratch paper.

Sorry for rehashing an old thread, just curious to see if any uses a progress grid, and if so how do you set it up? Does anyone even discern any benefit from this method? thanks!
