Frequently asked questions
Should every question really get the same time?
Treat this as a pacing guideline, not a strict rule — spend less time on questions you find easy and bank that time for harder ones.
How much review time should I reserve?
It depends on the exam, but 5-10% of total duration is a common starting point — adjust based on how often you catch mistakes when you check your own work.
