How many minutes should you allocate to Appendix?

• A. 15 minutes
• B. 20 minutes
• C. 30 minutes
• D. 10 minutes

Answer: (A)

Fifteen minutes is the right amount because the Appendix is a quick-reference part of the test, not the main problem-solving section. You only need a short, focused pass to skim for any tables, figures, definitions, or data you might need later and to note where they’re located. That keeps you ready to consult it if a question requires Appendix material without stealing time from working through the main questions. Spending more time would cut into problem-solving time, while spending less might leave you unsure where to find essential details. So fifteen minutes strikes a practical balance: enough to locate and flag important items, but not so long that it disrupts your overall pace.
