Proven techniques for managing time during high-pressure admission tests. How to allocate time per question and when to move on.

60 minutes for 100 questions means you have 36 seconds per question.

The 3-Pass Technique

1. Pass 1 (0-25 mins): Go through all 100 questions. Answer the instant-recall ones (GK, Biology, basic English). Skip anything that requires calculation or deep thought.
2. Pass 2 (25-45 mins): Go back to the skipped questions. Tackle the ones you know how to solve but need a little time (Math, Physics).
3. Pass 3 (45-60 mins): Attempt the hardest questions. Use elimination strategies.

The 'Ego' Trap

Don't let your ego get stuck on a difficult question. If a math problem takes more than 1 minute, skip it. Every question carries the same 1 mark. Don't sacrifice 3 easy marks for 1 hard one.
