Abstract Reasoning Timed Practice: Building Speed Under Pressure
Why: tests are timed, speed-accuracy trade-off, pressure simulation, pacing, realistic assessment. Structure: start 75s/question, then 60s, then 50s, then 45s. Targets: easy 20–30s, medium 40–50s, hard 50–60s. Skip after 60s. Session: warm-up 5min, main set 15–20min, review 10min. Build gradually: Week 1 (75s), Week 2 (60s), Week 3 (50s), Week 4 (45s). Mistakes: rushing, ignoring clock, no review, only easy questions, burnout. Tips: visible timer, simulate conditions, track metrics, practice elimination, stay calm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often timed practice?
3–5 sessions per week. 30–45 minutes each.
Accuracy drops with time pressure?
Slow down. 60 seconds. Build accuracy first. Reduce gradually.
Always full 20-question sets?
Mostly yes. Occasionally shorter for focused practice.
