Time Management for Reading Tests

How to Manage Your Time

MAP Reading tests are timed, so pacing is important. Skim the passage first, then read questions. If a question is tough, skip it and return later. Use any extra time to double-check your answers.

Tips for Success

  • Keep an eye on the clock
  • Answer easy questions first
  • Don’t get stuck on one question

With good time management, you can answer all questions with confidence.

Examples

  • Skipping a hard question and coming back after answering the rest.

  • Spending only a few minutes on each passage before moving on.
