Timing Strategies on the GMAT New and Updated thread is available here: timing-strategies-on-the-gmat-206035.html General Timing Strategies: Almost all the problems that are given on the GMAT are not that hard. What makes it hard to solve them is that you have less than 2 minutes per problem regardless of the kind and difficulty level. However, you can give yourself an advantage by preparing and saving or investing time where appropriate. Time yourself whenever you solve any questions. Whether you are solving 10 or just 1 question, make sure you are familiar with the ticking of the clock and pressure that it puts on you. You can use a variety of tools such as: Forum Timer GMAT Toolkit for iPhone and Android Walker's stand-alone GMAT Timer Try to Pause after reading a question. Esp. on the math section, after reading a question and before starting to solve it - stop for 5 seconds and instead of fully engaging yourself, take a casual look at it and think if an easier solution exists. Don't just rely on your reflexes, use your brain too. This trick will help you save time and also avoid some silly mistakes you may make by rushing to read the question. Avoid guessing 2 questions in a row. If pressed for time - solve every other question instead of guessing the last 3. You can see what happens if you get multiple questions in a row wrong here: gmat-prep-software-analysis-and-what-if-scenarios-146146.html Never ever ever spend more than 3.5 minutes on a single question. After 3 minutes, if you still can't see a solution, figure out an alternative approach, or start a guessing strategy. Be done by 3.5 - it will hurt even with 3.5 mins and I would recommend that you do it only once per section. You need to be prepared that the timing will not go as you wish; you may get a hard start or a few questions in a row that will get you down, but you need to be flexible and adjust to the test, just as the test tries to adjust to you. Plan to be stuck. Plan to be fraked out. Plan to panic. Don't do it but have a plan for all of these situations. Know when it is time to cut bait. If you have problems with timing - experiment! For example, you can take a test on which if you don't answer a question within 2 minutes, you simply move on. I took one like that, and what I did was guess when I was overtime on hard questions. My results that day, perhaps, were the lowest of all, but it allowed me to finish early and measure the time I had left as an "extra" time for hard questions. Another test you can take is "untimed" (some software simulators allow it) and take the time I needed on every question - this showed how much time i comfortably needed. Don't spend your time looking at the clock or turning it on and off - instead check the clock 3 times only during the 75 min section - this will save you at least 30 secondss that you were going to use up and also a lot of worrying about not finishing on time. Try dividing the test into three sections (45 mins remaining – 12 questions done; 20 mins remaining – 25 questions done; 1 min remaining –37 questions done). This approach is designed to invest as much time as possible into the first 15 questions since you will most likely get stuck there or will need extra time to solve questions. You can experiment with your own time allocations on GMAT Prep or other tests. Finally, an obvious one - do not leave questions unanswered. Each unanswered question drops your score by 3 percentile points as confirmed by GMAC Quant Timing Strategies Know by heart the common percent values, square roots, powers, and fractions. This will allow you to save time on calculations - see this post for details: what-arithmetic-should-i-memorize-80128.html If you encounter a hard question that you are not sure how to solve - be happy - you must be doing really well and on the right track. Celebrate and don't freak out. Take a pause and think of an un-usual/backsolving/etc solution to it. After reading the question, it may help to review the answer choices with the following thoughts in mind: how far apart is the distribution (how precise the calculations need to be), potential tricks with answers such as \frac{1}{2} or \frac{-1}{2} . Quant Question Approach in Short: 1. Read through the question (take 5 seconds to look at it and the answer choices) 2. See if you can apply any of the time saving techniques or quicker solutions 3. Optional: Read the setup again and write out all the info you will need to answer the question (this helped me) 4. Do not miss an important detail in the beginning of the question - this is a common catch in both Math and CR's 6. If you are too stressed about time, and the test’s got you on the run, take away your eyes from the screen and try focusing them on your hands or the seam of your pants to regain your confidence 7. Know how to solve every math question type (arithmetic, probability, word problems, etc) 8. Before you go to the test center - take several full length tests with AWA. Know your limits - be realistic. Know how much you can spend on each question Verbal Timing Strategies on the GMAT You will need to define your own timing strategy on the verbal section since your timing on each of the questions types will depend on your proficiency, reading speed, grammar skills, etc. Draw a grid on the scratch paper (A | B | C | D | E) for 5-10 questions and use it with hard verbal questions. (Make sure you do this during your break time or when the clock is not ticking). Then on the test, as soon as you eliminated an answer choice (for whatever reason, mark it on the piece of paper - esp helpful by the end of the verbal section when the brain can no longer function). For SC, create a check-list of grammar topics that you most often fall for. For instance, if you have trouble with modifiers, run-on sentences, and plurals, make sure those are on top of your check-list to run through when you cannot identify a problem with SC (i.e. when A is the correct answer). Here is more details about options to create such list: distribution-of-sc-questions-strategy-85636.html Get a handle on Scope, Assumptions, Inference, Conclusions. If you can master these, you will be able to save at least 5 minutes on the GMAT, and probably pick up as many as 5 points in your verbal score. Many answer choices are based on within/outside of scope - that's true for CR's and RC's. The same applies to assumptions, inference, and conclusions - many of the CR and RC questions are using these basic step stops to build questions and traps. If you can be flawless with these, you will be much better off. You the OG/Official questions to train your SCOPE ear. Remember that the most time efficient strategy to approach questions is outlined in the guidebooks (Kaplan Verbal Workbook, MGMAT CR, MGMAT SC, MGMAT RC, GMAT Pill E-book and PowerScore CR, PowerScore SC, PowerScore Verbal Bible) - the basic strategies are all pretty similar in these guidebooks - FOLLOW them by the book, and by ever line. If the strategy says you need to re-read the question, that's what you do, and if it says you must read the question first - that's what you do as well. I see people making this mistake all the time - they try to cut corners and beat the system only to get mediocre inconsistent results The best strategies for me were: CR - read the question first and mark on a piece of paper the type of question (W for weaken, S for strengthen, A for assumption, etc) CR - after reading the passage - read the question again and answer it WITHOUT reading answer choices - BEST TIP EVER (if I had to pick one). After that, you only have to find it in the list - very quick and efficient. Learn how to do this. SC - the fastest strategy is to pick an error just from reading (without having to go through answer choices) then again, you are just picking from a list - faster than analyzing each answer choice (though possible only sometimes) RC - paraphrase each paragraph, take notes as you go - helps to remember the text and not go back RC - spend more time reading the first and last sentence of each paragraph and ask yourself - why was this sentence/paragraph placed here? What is author driving with it? Are you seeing any logical issues/flaws with it? RC - don't go back to the text (if you have read it carefully - you will not have to) - fastest and most reliable way through RC I find reading a few thousand pages a good way to prepare to and save time on the verbal section: You read faster - helps with every section Better digest large volume of text - helps with RC Your ear is trained better - helps with finding errors in SC's You're a less boring person to talk to Don't waste too much time on Idioms as they are not emphasized in the GMAT any more, but know the common ones that will help you understand text better If you are an international student, it is a good idea to know every word that you meet in the question text. Write them in a notebook - word, and definition with an example of how you encountered it. It takes time, but by the time you're done with one word, you will remember it Verbal Question Approach in Short: Sentence Correction (SC) My personal strategy was to spend 45 seconds on SC's (read question once, identify the problem, phrase it in my mind, and find the correct answer that matched the one I made up). Usually I could hit these in 30-45 seconds and in 20% of cases needed as much as a minute and a half to identify the correct one (this was more usual when A was the correct choice). Critical Reasoning (CR) I spent 1:30 on each CR question. I could crack half of them in 30-45 seconds but the other half took closer to 2 minutes, so it was averaging about 1:30. Reading Comprehension (RC) All of this was building up towards the section I had the most problems with - reading comprehension. I knew that I needed 0:45 x 15 for SC's, 1:30 x 14 for CR's and that left 40 minutes for RC, which meant I could spend 10 minutes per passage. I would read the passage very carefully and spend probably 5-6 minutes doing and not feeling rushed as I knew I could read any passage in that period of time. After finishing the text, I knew I had 1 minute for each question so I did not need to rush either. On the Verbal, I did not really keep track of the clock when moving from question to question, but I would note the time when I start the RC passage and made sure I did not go over the 10 min interval by the end.

I'm not sure who else does this, but I've been following this pacing plan (from another source that I dont remember where I had gotten from):

For Math (think: 50-30-10):
@ Q11, you should have 50 mins left
@ Q21, 30 min left
@ Q31, 10 min left

For Verbal (think: 55-35-15):
@ Q11, you should have 55 mins left
@ Q21, 35 min left
@ Q31, 15 min left

I need some advice on improving my timing/ speed in the verbal section. Invariably, I come down to 15 questions, 15 mins and then I end up getting atleast 10 wrong in the last 15 questions. Asa result, my verbal score drops significantly. I feel that correcting this is critical to securing a 700+ score. I currently take the following time on an average:

SC - 1.5 mins/ q
CR - 2.5 mins/ q
RC - 3 mins/ q

Obviously I crack the simple SCs and CRs in less than 1 and 2 mins respectively.

One of the strategies, I am considering is to leave the 4th RC, yes - I mean randomly mark all 3-4 questions of the 4th RC. This will unlock valuable 10 mins that I can use for the SCs and CRs. Has anyone tried this? Please share your experiences and thoughts. Thanks!

Nice topic, thanks for the tips!

I have problem with timing in the verbal section, I usually end up rushing the last 5- 7 questions (I just notice that I have like an average of a minute or less per question and freak out). Interestingly however, most of the time the last questions are correct! I don't guess but speed up after the last RC passage, and noticed that I can do CR and SC questions on very short time. It looks like under a bigger amount of pressure, you can focus better. I just need to keep myself focused after the first 12 questions, when I usually have the most incorrect answers.

My 2 cents:

I started my practice in October and early February will demonstrate how effective was it. Since the very beginning, I was using timers while solving problems - either test own timers (MGMAT, Gmatclub tests) or Walkers' soft. When flying, I was just measuring the start and the end of the session, getting an average time per question.

What this approach has built, is an internal sense of time - I more or less feel when 2 minutes are about to expire w/o looking at a clock. And, 2 minutes tend to appear longer and longer for me, so I am feeling more and more comfortable when solving questions (even when deadling with my most hated Work/Ratio problems).

Another small tip - while solving CATs, I check myself every 5 or 10 questions on how well am I doing with the time. The trick is to look at how many questions left*2 (check at round number - 20, 25 etc) vs time left. If I have 20 questions to go and time left is 35min, that is not good and I need to speed up.

Yet one more thing - it's important to know what you CANNOT solve and irrespectively of the question, to drop it after 3 min of attempts. I failed (650) one of MGMAT cats because I got stuck in both math and verbal sections, running 7-9 min short in each (!) and guessing 6 questions in a row. 6 wrong questions does not worth 1 800-900

question answer.

I have been using this for pacing myself on the exam - hat tip to MGMAT

Its pretty useful

Time Left Math—Near Question… Verbal—Near Question…
75 minutes 1 1
60 minutes 7-8 8-10
45 minutes 14-15 16-18
30 minutes 21-22 24-26
15 minutes 28-29 32-34

Guys, I was reading this post about timing strategies on paper. I'm having troubles improving CR speed. I mostly take more than 2-2.5 mins per CR question. I find it very difficult to complete folllowing steps in under 1.5 mins unless I use my gut feeling:
- paraphrase argument with short notes
- reading each option and how it affects conclusion or premise. e.g there can be many ways an argument can be strengthened/weakened. Trying to match options with one of the method/strategies for that type of question takes really long time. Inference questions require combining 2 or three premise statements, and sometimes options are very confusing.
I've improved SC by doing OG questions again and again. It helped my finding patterns and improving speed.
But SC and CR questions are very different from each other. Once I find error in sentence, I can look for another error and find solution. However, CR argument can be strengthened/weakened in many ways or can have many assumptions.
Suggestions to actually improve speed in CR?

RG1, for CR you need to do as many practice questions as you can. After completition of X number of questions, you'll start getting correct answers already while reading questions (especially, in OG, in which CR questions are very lame). For harder questions check MGMAT CATs and Aristotle CR bank.

I was told by Princeton Review that the beginning questions are the most important, and to spend 30 minutes or so on the first 10 questions. And that the last 10 questions can only effect your score by about 5-10 points since your difficulty level is all ready dialed in. I spaced my time out more evenly before, but recently I started spending a significant amount of time on the first half of the CAT tests, resulting in almost no time towards the ending of the test. I would be forced to pretty much guess on the last 5-10 questions. But now my score has gone down, and I have been studying A LOT in the past couple weeks.

I have not seen anyone talking about such a strategy on this forum, so I am guessing that this is not a good approach. Is spending a large amount of time in the beginning half of the test ever a good idea?

i would say all questions are equally important, although you will see some experimental question(s) during the exam, just won't know which one it is.

@ bb

I have started my GMAT Prep finally from last Friday (April 22nd, 2011). I have one very important question about the TIME issue.

As I have just begun prepping, should I focus on answering the questions following the rule of thumb about TIME (5Qs in 10 mins) or focus on answering the question correctly?

ALL your practice should be timed.
No offense but the questions are fairly easy if you have 5+ mins per question, it is the combination of difficulty and only 2 min per question that makes it hard...

With all due respect and just in search of the logic behind, how and why TIME dominates CORRECTNESS as far as the importance is concerned whilst I am just practicing my first few Qs of Kaplan Premier?

BB - Can you please explain why point #4 under the Simple GMAT timing strategy is relevant. I'm sure it has something to do with the progression of the test, but please clarify if possible.

Very Fair question indeed.
The suggestion is based on a few assumptions about the algorith of the test and you are definitely welcome to poke holes in it.

Assumption: You get "penalized" for getting multiple questions wrong

If you are pressed for time and have 4 questions left but really have time only for 2, my suggestion is instead of answering questions 34 and 35 and then guessing 36 and 37 for Quant is to answer 34, guess 35, answer 36, and guess 37. This allows to stay at a relatively same level (or higher if you guess one right) than potentially dropping below the level you were at question 33 by getting multiple questions wrong in a row.

very useful!! i never thought about that when having to guess! Thanks!!

I usually finish my quantitative section in about 60 minutes, which means i'll be left with 15 spare mins. I have planned to use the time to smoke a cigarette and use the bathroom. will that be possible? or will i have to finish the section before i can get out of the test room?
thanks in advance

Finishing a section early won't let you take a longer break, unless you want to stare at the wall in the testing room. If you want to get up from your seat, the proctor will end your current section, so you'll automatically be moved forward to the break.
