Time Management for Reading Tests

Making the Most of Test Time

Good time management is crucial during the Praxis Reading exam. Practice pacing yourself by dividing the total time by the number of questions. Don’t get stuck on one tough question—move on and return later if needed. Skimming the passage first can help you get the gist before diving into details.

  • Use a watch or timer to stay aware
  • Mark questions to return to if you’re unsure
  • Leave a few minutes at the end to review your answers

Examples

  • Quickly answering easier questions first to build confidence and save time.

  • Allocating extra time at the end to double-check tricky answers.
