Managing Time on the Exam

Making the Most of Your Exam Time\n\nThe AP Japanese exam is timed, so pacing yourself is crucial. Plan ahead to avoid rushing or running out of time.\n\n### Strategies\n\n- Skim questions before listening or reading.\n- Allocate time based on question difficulty.\n- Don’t get stuck on one question—move on and return if there's time.\n\n### Practice\n\nSimulate real test conditions with practice exams and set a timer to build confidence.

Examples

  • Skipping a tough Kanji question and returning to it later.

  • Setting a timer for reading passages during practice.
