Key ideas to know
Start with the relationships between ideas. Then close the notes and explain each one from memory.
- 01
Each section has its own time limit, so pacing should be planned separately.
- 02
Average time per total item is about 73 seconds in Reading, 90 seconds in Math, 72 seconds in Science, and 60 seconds in English.
- 03
A first pass should collect points from items that can be solved without a long stall.
- 04
Flagging is useful only when enough time remains to return.
- 05
Multiple-select items should be judged option by option rather than by visual pattern.
- 06
Fill-in-the-blank responses require unit and rounding checks.
- 07
Ordered-response items should be rebuilt from causal or procedural order.
- 08
Timed review works best when misses are sorted by content, method, wording, or pace.

A flag only helps when later pacing leaves return time.

8What four error groups can guide review?Show answer ＋
Content, method, wording, and pace.
Explain it in your own words
Use the answer as a check after you have written or spoken your response.
01A Reading item has taken three minutes and two choices remain. What is a sound move?
Mark the best evidence-based choice, flag it if return time is likely, and continue.
02Why should Math receive a different pacing plan from English?
Its official time and item count allow more average time per item.
03How can scratch work reduce repeated reading?
Record the requested quantity, given facts, and eliminated options once.
04What should happen after a timed set?
Rework every miss without the answer, record the error group, then schedule a short retest.
05Why is speed alone a poor practice target?
Fast work that repeats the same error does not raise reliable accuracy.
