Time management during RRT exam — how fast are you supposed to go?

Did a full timed practice test today and ran out of time with 5 questions left. Definitely have a time management problem.

The RRT - Carpet Repair and Reinstallation Technician exam has 89 questions and the time limit is 103 minutes by my understanding. That works out to roughly 66 seconds per question — which should be doable except I keep stopping on "RRT exam" type questions.

My bad habit: I over-analyze questions I'm unsure about rather than making a best guess and moving on.

Any strategies that worked for you? Specifically:
- Do you go through once and skip hard questions to come back to?
- How many questions on "RRT" should I expect — is it worth the time investment?
- Is the real exam usually easier to pace than practice tests, or harder?

I'm good enough on the content, I think — it's purely pacing that's failing me.

I actually failed the first time by a few points. Total gut punch. But passed on the second attempt with a comfortable margin.

What changed: I stopped trying to memorize answers and started actually understanding the material. Specifically on RRT exam — I went back to basics and worked forward from first principles.

Also switched from reading to doing. Less time with the textbook, more time on practice questions with detailed answer explanations.

You've got this. The second attempt is always better because you know exactly what the exam is like.
