Time Management and Pacing

Stay Calm and Keep Moving

Managing your time during the MCAT is crucial. Allocate set amounts of time per passage and question, and move on if you're stuck. Practicing with timers helps build pacing skills and reduces test-day stress.

  • Set time limits for each practice section
  • Skip and return to tough questions instead of getting stuck

Examples

  • Moving to the next question after 90 seconds if unsure.

  • Completing practice sections with a stopwatch to simulate real exam conditions.
