Time Management During the Test

Make Every Minute Count

The MAP test is timed, so managing your time is super important. You want to give every question your best shot without running out of time!

Smart Time Strategies

  • Skim the passage first to get the gist.
  • Don’t spend too long on any one question—move on and come back if you need to.
  • Use the process of elimination to narrow down answers.
  • Save a few minutes at the end to check your work.

Why Time Management Matters

With good timing, you’ll feel less stressed and have a better chance of finishing every question.

Examples

  • Skipping a tough question and answering the easy ones first, then circling back.

  • Pacing yourself so you have time to double-check your answers before time’s up.
