When one question is taking too long, how do you decide to leave it? Is there a rough time limit or does it depend on the question type? Sometimes it feels like the answer could be in the next sentence😅

If another read is helping you compare the options, it might be worth it. If you're going over the same lines with no new clue, move on and come back. A fixed number of seconds seems harder to use.

I never thought about new clue. So if I read same sentence two time and still not sure, better to leave?

If two options still look the same, would you choose one and move on? not sure when to leave it blank for later

Choose one and mark the question number. Come back if you have time after other questions.

If the second read shows you're in the wrong paragraph, another look might help. If you're just stuck on the same lines, come back later.

So if the second read shows a new clue, that is worth the time? how do you tell that apart from just rereading the same lines?

Where does most of the time go: reading, finding evidence, or rechecking answers? Could time those separately on one practice passage.
