What should I do with time excess in the real test?

by Diep » Fri Jul 24, 2009 11:52 am
Hi,
I just get done with all of my MGAT CATs, except for the first test, I get 51 quant in all other ones and have around 15 min left ( I am Asian + actuarial science major). I am pretty confident with quant but my verbal is not good at all. I predict that I also have some extra time for the quant and wonder what the good use of that time is, should I stay there and relax before submit the last question or should I move on and start Verbal early?
Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks

I'm Asian too and my Verbal percentile was much higher than my Math, so the sterotype doesn't hold true.

If you know you have extra time in math, then slow down as you approach the end of that section and double check your answers before submitting. If you still have time left over, I would just end the test rather than run out the clock for no reason.

Take advantage of your break and use it to stretch and perhaps get a drink of water.

Then proceed to Verbal.

If you take more time solving problems, you can get a 52 in Quant. You have the talent to do so. Try doing that and make us proud. :D
