how much time should I spent on each passage on the real MCAT test?

For physics, I figured there's 70 min and 7 passages. Does that mean I should have around a max of 8 to 9 minutes on each passage?

I'm trying to think of a mental strategy for approaching passages. If I breeze through a passage, I don't need to worry about timing, but if it's hard, should like a 9 minute mark be a red flag for me to start moving on to the next section and just start guessing?

Right now, I'm doing aamc full length and I just started timing myself. I'm looking to do each passage individually and seeing solution right away (while my throught process is still fresh in my mind). However, I'm trying to decide on a realistic timing. I heard some say 6 min, but I feel like that's realistically focusing myself to overrush myself and I won't have time to think enough. what's a good timing scheme?
