How much time per question ?
Dear Friends,
Is it ok if DS takes a bit longer i.e. ( about 3.40 mins.) for a question especially verbal reasoning questions or should he be advised to move on to the next question and come back to the questions he knows will take a long time?
We are confused at this point because some parents say that he should answer all the questions in an order whereas some say if he knows that a particular question will take long time then it is better for him to do the ones he can answer quickly and then come back

Re: How much time per question ?
Last year DS did KE exams, we practiced doing 3 questions in a minute for maths and verbal reasoning.
I told DS to keep going and circle those he did not get in a few seconds. For the last minute, go back and guess those left behind.
Horses for courses, instruct as to how best your child will understand and perform

Re: How much time per question ?
last year I did a couple of papers and timed myself on each section. On some I was really quick, but on others I took far longer. It really helped to know which ones were more difficult and to pace myself.
Teh 30 secs per question is a bit misleading, some may take 15 0r 20, others 45+..
The logic type questions (z type) and codes take a longer time.

I was advising of a target I set for my DS; it's all about speed and accuracy.
