on the read deal, is skipping smart to do, with weaker sections. becuase i am thinking of doing bio first, then ochem, then genchem? or pat with different sections, or with reading section to see if im more familiar with another passage?
does it take a while to skip each question? like the setup in DAT achiever, can you only see the "review items" at the end of the section, or is it like kaplan tests where you can do item review right from the start? anyone know what im talking about? advicce? 😳

your gonna loose like a minute or two..cuz u can't "review" until u passed all the questions..
 
not a good idea because
1) you'll be stressed out and spend more time on every question no matter what
2) it takes time for every question to load up

so don't plan on skipping any questions and coming back to them unless you really have no idea. I skipped a bunch of top-front-end on the PAT and I was scrambling to finish at the end; I don't think I did as well partly because of this.
 
it depends on the computer's speed. if the computer is fast then you can skip losing very few seconds not minutes. if the computer is slow then it will take a lot of time to skip, so my advise is to call someone who works at the prometric center and he/she will tell you about the computer speed, so choose the center who has faster computers.
