When to look at the time

[KiKi88]

Hey,

I have a problem while doing the qbanks in timed mode

I can't keep my eyes off the clock!

I look at it almost with every question

Is that a significant problem! am I losing time watching the clock?

Your input appreciated

[succeeded]

Here's how I did it
I look at the time after finishing each quarter of a block

So now there are 44 questions in each block

So look for the first time after finishing question 11 if you see that you have 45 minutes or more then you are doing well keep the same speed

Similarly after question 22 look again and if you have more than 30 min ...

Pace yourself accordingly

[Aviram]

There's very important advice in this regard

Never lose quality and concentration for fear of not completing the block

Take all the time you need to answer the question

Answering 35 questions with full focus and then scribbling the rest
is certainly better than skimming through all of the 44

Well am in the middle between succeeded and Aviram ...

I think looking at the time in the manner mentioned by succeeded is a good way to gauge your speed but like Aviram said you should not speed up just to catch up.

The only time when a question need to be hurried up without further brain squeezing is when you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and you don't even know what the question is asking about then this is probably an experimental question just check your best guess and proceed to the next.

Also remember that not all blocks have the same difficulty, the computer system is interactive if they find you doing bad in a block then your next block would be easier and therefore potentially faster to finish up.
