Timing

Does anyone know what math question and verbal question a person should be after a certain period of time on the test? A easy way to remember?

You get about 2 minutes per question, so subtract 2*question number from 75. Or...

Question 10 : 55 minutes
Question 20 : 35 minutes
Question 30 : 15 minutes

However, I'm thinking of modifying my timing to accomodate the fact that your earlier and later answers matter more:

Question 10 : 50 minutes
Question 20 : 30 minutes
Question 30 : 20 minutes

Pretty close. Math has 37 questions and verbal has 41, so you have slightly less time per question on verbal, but in the same ballpark.
