How does the timing on the Natural sciences work out on the actual OAT. I know 130 minutes is given for the hole section..thus in theory could you spend any combination of time on each section: ie 60 minutes on bio, 15 on chem and 15 on orgo? Or does each section have its own unique time limit (ie topscore says bio is 36 min, orgo and chem are 27 i think)

Thanks!
 
The entire section is 90 minutes.. regardless on how long you take on each specific section.. you could take 88 minutes in bio, 1 minute in gen chem and 1 minute in orgo if you wanted... although of course that would be insane lol..
Topscore probably means that those are the times you should spend since bio has more questions than orgo and chem
 
Your a beauty, thanks alot..i figured that was how it worked. Just need a few extra minutes in G.C considering org and bio are my strengths..that's good to know.
