Default kaplan ps sections and timing

so i usually don't have timing issues in ps for the aamc exams but when i take kaplan's section test or take the qbank quizes i usually don't finish with enough time.

what do you guys think about this. i usually need like 4 more minutes for kaplan ps sections but with aamc question i usually have like 3-4 minutes left for ps and for kaplan bs i usually end with a little time left 3-4min and with aamc i usually end with like 6-7 minutes

lemme know. thanks

The Kaplan Section tests are meant to be extremely difficult. As the awesome LaurenMCAT says, you should save the section tests until you plateau on scores and do them then. They can be a real confidence killer. If you're doing well on section tests you're likely to do well in general.
