Time Management
Our most basic fundamental time management strategy is called the 3/5 split, and this is designed to put the emphasis on the right place, on the questions where students actually will get points.
Students have never scored a single point on the GED test for reading a passage.
You have to, of course, answer the questions.
This pacing guideline emphasizes that you need to spend eight minutes per passage.
Three minutes for reading the text or skimming the text and five minutes for answering questions. It is a very simple pacing guideline, but it’s very effective.
