Timing

[jsloan01]

I have trouble reducing my timing for this section. I am practicing a lot, but have a tough time finishing 37 questions in the 75 minute time slot.

Any recommendations? Does it make sense to take a "slow and steady" approach to the exam or is it best to work under the "2 minutes per problem" rule.

I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you!

I would suggest you to first get a hold on the concepts..initially try to solve problems without worrying about time..as ou get hold on concepts, start timing urself and work towards reducing the time u take for each problem..with practice you should be able to make it

You can ignore a few questions and it probably won't affect your score much. If you focus on 2 minutes per question your anxiety level will probably go up. Work methodically and steady.

Sloan ,

which Kaplan books have these tips ?

While practice, solve the questions withhout worrying about time.. learn tables and speed techniques.. There are ways by which you can do lot of calculations mentally - find on Mental math and you will find few tricks.

Sorry, I haven't checking the forum quite as regularly. I have an old set of Kaplan books (dated 2000). They are titled home study books. They have really helpful drills that definitely improved my timing.

Hope that helps!
