Time is one of the most critical resources on the GMAT, and managing it well can mean the difference between an average score and a top-tier performance. GMAT Time Management & Section Pacing Strategies is a focused course built to help you master the skill of efficient timing across all GMAT sections. Whether you’ve struggled to finish on time or want to refine your pacing for maximum accuracy, this course provides a comprehensive framework that transforms how you approach the test.

The course begins with an introduction to the GMAT’s unique time structure, breaking down the demands of each section—Verbal, Quantitative, Integrated Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. You’ll explore the psychology behind timing pressure and learn how small inefficiencies can add up to major score losses. Through a personal time awareness test, you’ll gain insight into your current pacing habits and areas where you need improvement.

Each subsequent module focuses on a specific section of the GMAT. In Verbal Reasoning, you’ll learn optimal time allocations for question types, such as sentence correction, reading comprehension, and critical reasoning. You’ll develop fast-processing skills like skim-and-scan techniques, logic shortcuts, and error elimination methods. In the Quantitative section, you’ll master backsolving, plugging-in numbers, and learn how to recognise time traps. Prioritisation strategies help you decide when to guess, when to invest time, and when to move on.

The course also covers Integrated Reasoning and AWA, showing you how to manage time with complex data sets and long-form writing. A structured essay planning template and simulation exercises help you consistently complete your AWA within the 30-minute window without sacrificing quality. Practical pacing drills for multi-source reasoning and graphics interpretation give you the edge needed for the IR section.

A full timed simulation module is included to help you build real test-day stamina. You'll learn the "time bank" method, a flexible strategy that helps you allocate spare minutes or recover from tough questions. Breathing and focus techniques help you maintain clarity under pressure, while reflection tools identify your timing weak spots so you can course-correct before the actual exam.

The final section helps you build a 7-day personalised pacing plan leading up to the test. You'll learn when and how to guess strategically, how to stay aware of the GMAT clock without getting distracted, and how to use all your prep to execute a seamless timing strategy on exam day. With downloadable templates, checklists, and a final time management blueprint, this course ensures you’re fully equipped to manage every second of the GMAT like a pro.
