I had 40+ minutes to spare when I walked out of the prometric test center. In my mind, I said "keep the change, you filthy animals."

But my brother-in-law could barely finish a section before time would run out.

So it varies from person to person. Some people like to think real hard before answering, whereas others like me just do eenie minie mo. OK, just kidding about the second part, but yeah, I do take tests really quickly. After each section, I would have 20 minutes left over on average, and I'd double-check my answers in 10-15 minutes, leaving 5-10 minutes at the end which would be added to my break time.
