What is the time limit for the Situational Judgment component?

The time limit for the Situational Judgment component is about 30 minutes. This pacing gives you enough time to carefully read each scenario, weigh the options, and choose the most appropriate response without feeling rushed. If you only had around 15 minutes, it would be hard to approach each scenario thoughtfully; 60 minutes would be more than necessary for this section and could indicate a different test design than what’s used here; and 10 minutes would be far too tight for multiple realistic situations. The roughly half-hour limit strikes a balanced amount of time to demonstrate sound judgment under time pressure.
