Hi All,

After doing a couple of prep tests, I have come up with a strategy for time management.

I agree that everyone is having his/her own timining strategy depdnding on a lot of factors like comfort level, strong/weak areas etc etc.....

BUT still, I will appreciate if you could please comment on the below ...What do you guys think? Is it OK to have such big big time slots (as generally everyone follows 5 mn or 10 mn slot) or you guys think I am digging my own grave? :D

Quant-->

45 Minutes left ---> Should be at 15th question
15 Minutes left ---> Should be at 30th question
0 Minutes left ----> DONE


Verbal (even though I struggle a lot in last 15 mns)-->

45 Minutes left ---> Should be at 16th question
15 Minutes left ---> Should be at 33th question
0 Minutes left ----> DONE



Thanks!

I think it's unwise to use such large time intervals because by the time you've hit a time milestone (say question 30) you may be so far behind already that it will be hard to recover. Compare this to if you had smaller time intervals (for example you check every 5 questions), you'd know earlier that you're behind and can make appropriate changes.
