General CR Strat

Hi guys,

I'm wondering how you are all doing for pacing on CR questions. What is your strategy? I can get majority of the questions right within 3 minutes, but feel that this is too much time to spend on one question. Any thoughts?
Any insight is appreciated.

In general, sentence correction problems should take around 1 min 30 secs.

CR problems should take around 2 minutes

RC should take around 4-6 minutes to read the passage and 30 secs to 1 minute to solve each question.


Of course this timing isn't set in stone. I'd take it as more of an average of the time students spend on each question type.


HTH!
