Time management is an essential skill on standardized tests, like the SSAT, ISEE, ACT, and SAT. The timing restriction is one aspect of the test designed to challenge students, but with practice you can gain the skills and strategies to master it.
Test Innovators helps students prepare for every component of the test. Learning test-taking strategies and skills, especially effective time management, is an important part of preparing for the test.
To help students learn effective time management, Test Innovators provides a detailed timing graph for every section of the test. The timing graph shows how you allocated your time question by question. The graph also shows when you
went back to review a question
changed your answer
paused the section
The timing graph makes it easy to analyze your time management, so you can master this critical test-taking skill.
Test Innovators also provides:
normative score reports, so you know exactly where you stand.
diagnostic tools that categorize questions by difficulty and subtype, so you can quickly identify and prioritize areas that need improvement.
a Personalized Prep Plan that provides recommendations for next steps based on your performance, so you know what to do next.
