Timing Is Everything

I often see the same question posed in some pre-law forums that I get frequently form my own students: At what point do I start timing my questions? The answer to this is simple. NOW. Ok, so maybe the answer doesn't need to be that emphatic, but the point is, the sooner you start working on pacing, the easier you will have it come test time.

You may score +165 on your un-timed practice tests, but in reality, being able to choose the right answer is only half the equation. Being able to do so in the alloted time is the REAL trick. As awkward as it sounds, you need to practice the questions timed, because you need to get a feel for what the amount of time feels like for each particular kind of questions. By doing this now, you start developing a habit. By the time the test roles around, you won't have to worry about nonsensical things like, do i guess on the last two passages or do I try to do one and sacrifice the other? That, of course, is for another post...
