Hi,
I have a few MCAT format questions for those of you who have taken it.

1. in BS and PS section, is it all 7 passages and then 13 discrete questions, or can the discrete ones come at any time??

2. For question numbering does each section start from 1 or is it continuous like on the practice exam?? (ie is it like PS 1-52, then VR 1-40, or PS 1-52, VR 53-93)

3. Do time reminders pop up in the real thing?(I also noticed on the practice test the time stops until you hit ok, I am guessing this is for sure fixed on the real exam)

1. The discretes are mixed in with the passages. They pop up whenever.
2. I don't recall.
3. Yes. But the time doesn't stop like it does on practice tests when the warning pops up.
 
Bump.

Also do they give you a locker or something to put drinks/snacks in? and what if you take longer than 10 min (like 12) will the test automatically start back up?

The next section will not start counting down until you click next. However, try to make it back there before the time runs down. Some test administrators can be real a**holes
