Think over vs think through
Let's say there's a speaking part of the English exam and an interlocutor asks a student a question. The student needs a minute to think up an answer. Can the student respond with the following query?
Interlocutor: [question]
Student: Can I think it over/through for a few seconds or have I got to answer straight away?
Interlocutor: Yes, take your time. Don't haste.
My point is, is there any difference between think over and think through?

Tomasz Klepinowski My point is, is there any difference between think over and think through? I see none there, really. 'Through' refers to a serial process; 'over' is less structured.
