Timing Impact on Score

by geoffreyxiao96 Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:18 pm

Hello,

I was just wondering if timing had an impact on score. If I complete the test faster do I get a higher score? I was just asking because of the timer on the practice tests and on the review results, the timing is there for all the problems.

Thanks!

Hey Geoffrey,

Nope. Finishing faster doesn't help you. The timer is there because people struggle with time (to finish on time), which means they end up not finishing the test, thus leaving points on the table. So timing is very important, but doesn't DIRECTLY affect score. Make sure you finish on time though!
