What is the recommended approach to time management during the exam?

• A. Always spend extra time on a single question
• B. Move on after answering
• C. Reread all questions carefully
• D. Spend time on lengthy quotes

Answer: (B)

The idea here is to manage your time so you can answer as many questions as you can and still have a chance to check your work. If you finish a question, moving on promptly keeps you on pace and reduces the risk of getting stuck on one item and running out of time for the rest. You can always return to tougher questions later if time allows, but you’ll have already secured the points from the ones you’ve answered and kept a steady rhythm through the paper. Spending too long on a single item, or trying to reread everything in depth or chase lengthy quotes, often ends up wasting valuable minutes that could be used to answer other questions. So, answer what you know, then move on, and use any remaining time to review.
