TBR phase III: how long should I time myself?

[elloL]

I have been looking for this answer everywhere. I looked through the books and they didn't give how much time you are given for phase III. I have been giving myself 1.4 min for the 59 questions so 82.6 minutes. Should I give myself the standard 95 minutes that the actual MCAT gives you?

The general rule is that you should allot 3 minutes per passage and 1 minute per question. That will give you a pace slightly faster than what you need to finish the MCAT on the exact second time expires.

For Phase 3 practice exams in general chemistry and physics, give yourself 95 minutes to complete the 59 questions and ten passages, like the MCAT timing associated with the C/P section.

For organic chemistry, give yourself 36 minutes for the 30-question phase 3s. For biology, give yourself 45 minutes for every block of five passages that you do.
