I just purchased the three available practice tests from the PCAT website and I was wondering if you can take an individual section, save it, and come back to finish the remaining sections later? I don't want to start a 5 hour test and realize that I have to stay up till midnight to finish it all at once.
Thanks!🙂

You can, but then it won't be like the real thing. You should do it on a Sat morning, or whatever day you can mimic the actual test.

Yes, I agree with pretending it is the real thing. Do two essays as well, with no breaks except the 10 minute break after the chemistry section. You'd be suprised how much 4 hours takes out of you, and you should get ready for the marathon that is the PCAT.

I did the tests back to back right before I took it in August, it gets a little easier each time and you get your pacing down to a fine science. Or you can do one a week, or something, as well whatever works for you.
