Effective Time Management on Test Day

Making Every Minute Count

Pacing is crucial for the MCAT. Allocate time for each section and passage. Don’t get stuck—move on and return to tough questions if time allows.

  • Use a watch or on-screen timer
  • Practice timed sections before test day
  • Mark and skip questions that take too long

Finishing every question increases your chances of scoring higher.

Examples

  • Skipping a confusing question and returning after completing the section.

  • Using a timer to practice answering passages within the allotted time.
