I have a serious issue with timing. The AAMC FL3 was the first practice test I took. In the PS, I didn't even get to see the last two passages and set of discretes. V I finished ~6m early and got 7x. BS, same as PS I didn't get to the last two and set of discretes.
Took the AAMC FL7 earlier today, and same problem with PS. V I finished on time, but was surprised to see I got 14x. That section seems like a crapshoot. Being mindful of time, I managed to finish BS on time.
AAMC FL8 just a few hours ago, and it was the same disaster with PS.
Physics and Chem are my strong suit. I loathed how content-driven Bio was (content review took forever). But now that I've gotten through the material, BS feels like such a breeze because it's a lot of recognition. I get nervous starting a PS section because I know how long it takes me.
I mark the half way point so I can have an idea of my pace, but I feel rushed and make a lot of stupid mathematical errors.
What I'm doing is clearly not working. I am thinking of other tactics to implement. I realized I can answer a lot of questions without reading the passage, but still feel guilty doing so. Does this work?
I am open to suggestions for timing (in general), and specifically with the PS section. I was always able to deduce things and derive formulas on physics, but it's obvious now that I need to internalize it and get quicker with my calculations. Suggestions?
