Why checkpoint math should use exact totals
Reading & Writing modules contain 27 questions in 32 minutes; Math modules contain 22 questions in 35 minutes. The familiar 71- and 95-second averages are rounded, so multiplying them across a whole module introduces drift. This calculator builds each checkpoint from the exact total seconds.
Averages are budgets
Some questions should take less than the average and some may take more. Use checkpoints to protect the module, not to force identical time on every question.
