On the ETS paper-delivered GRE, Section 2 Verbal Reasoning allots 21 minutes for 15 questions and Section 3 allots 28 minutes for 20 questions. Faced with an especially hard or unfamiliar passage, ETS suggests
Askipping the passage entirely to protect time for Text Completion items
Bconsulting any memorised background on the topic to read faster
Csaving the passage for last rather than skipping it
Dasking the proctor for additional time at the end of the section
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. saving the passage for last rather than skipping it
ETS verbatim: if you encounter a passage that seems particularly hard or unfamiliar, you may want to save it for last. Skipping is not advised; outside knowledge is explicitly not expected; the proctor does not extend timed sections.
