Speed on the quant

Alright, I got the Bio and Chem section under control. But, I am going crazy on the math. I know how to do 98% of the problems on each practice test that I do. But, I always run out of time or make stupid calculations because I am going so fast. I did a pearson practice test. I got 27/40 BUT 10 of the questions I got wrong I could have done them in my sleep!!! I try to skip around and do the easy problem. Any ideas????

I would simply recommend like you said skipping around and doing the easy ones first. A lot of times you can sort of estimate to the right answer also (without having to do the whole problem). I had to put random answers for like the last 10 questions on the actual PCAT and still scored in the 90's. No one finishes (at least I don't know anyone... 😵 haha), so don't stress so much about finishing, just answer what you can correctly.

Is there a example on how the computer-based format looks like? Can we freely skip around the section, flag questions to review, and quickly navigate to different questions without having to use the Back and Next buttons?
