Answer:
Hi,
Time pressure is one of the most challenging parts of the CCAT, and it is designed that way. You have only 15 minutes to answer 50 questions, and you cannot go back once you move forward. Every second counts.
From years of working with candidates, I can tell you the goal is not to finish all the questions. Most people do not, and that is completely fine. The ones who perform best know when to move on. If a question takes more than 30 seconds, make your best guess and continue. It is better to answer 35 questions confidently than to get stuck and leave many unanswered.
The skill you need is not only solving problems but also managing your focus under pressure. You need to recognize which questions to answer and which to skip. This is something you can train through timed practice. Over time, your pacing becomes sharper and more natural, and that is what makes the real difference.
