Time Travel IS possible!

The CurtisE Timing Engine, developed by CurtisE Learning, is like having a test-taking GPS—except instead of just yelling “Recalculating!” when you go off track, it actually helps you stay on course. Time management is one of the biggest hurdles in standardized testing, and let’s be honest—nobody enjoys that panicked moment when they realize they’ve spent ten minutes perfecting one answer while the rest of the section gathers dust. That’s where the CurtisE Timing Engine comes in, crafting individually tailored timing strategies to keep students moving efficiently without turning them into multiple-choice robots.

This smart system assesses a student’s strengths, weaknesses, and natural pacing tendencies, then builds a customized plan to balance speed and accuracy. Are you the type who overthinks every question like it’s a Shakespearean monologue? Or do you blaze through the test like a contestant in a game show lightning round? Either way, the CurtisE Timing Engine has you covered, ensuring that you don’t fall into the “too slow” or “too reckless” traps that tank scores.

Unlike the usual “just divide your time evenly” advice (which works about as well as “just be confident” before a first date), this engine pinpoints where you should take a breath and focus, and where you should pick up the pace. It even uses strategic checkpointing, so you don’t get blindsided by a dwindling clock. Plus, it’s informed by your practice tests, refining your timing strategy like a personal test-taking sidekick who never gets tired of watching you bubble in answers and helps you pilot the test to victory!

CurtisE Learning designed this tool to reduce stress, increase confidence, and—most importantly—boost scores. Because let’s face it: standardized tests are already nerve-wracking enough. With the CurtisE Timing Engine, at least your test-taking pace won’t be one of the problems you have to solve. It’s one of the many reasons why CurtisE Test Prep has an incredible success rate!
