Understanding the timing challenge is one thing. Having a concrete, practised pacing strategy is quite another. This lesson gives you a detailed pacing framework that you can rehearse and refine until it becomes second nature on test day.
The simplest and most effective pacing strategy is to aim for 7 minutes per passage. If you maintain this pace across all 12 passages, you will use 84 minutes — leaving 11 minutes for review at the end.
| Strategy | Time per Passage | Total for 12 Passages | Review Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-minute target | 7 min | 84 min | 11 min |
| 8-minute target | 8 min | 96 min | -1 min (over time) |
| 7.5-minute target | 7.5 min | 90 min | 5 min |
The 7-minute target is ambitious but achievable with practice. It provides a comfortable buffer for review, and it allows you to spend slightly longer on 2–3 difficult passages without running out of time.
