Is it just me or is the 27 minutes for each chem section way too short on Topscore? I got done with the bio sections in 20 minutes with 20+ scores, but I'm hauling just to get done with chem with all the calculations and such.

yeah i dont think those times are set well. they basically set the times so u have the same amt of time per problem regardless if its a bio chem or orgo question. when they made the program i dont think they realized that chem and orgo questions are obviously gonna take longer b/c of calculations and rxns.

I agree with Blackjack, and also, I think that all of the practice tests in general, give you a skewed perception of time pacing for the gchem section. The real thing is actually a lot more conceptual, requiring no time consuming calculations. So it'd be good to keep that in mind when preparing for timing for the real test.
