I finish each block of UW with roughly 30 minutes to spare, is this normal? or going too fast? Could be because im doing it system based the first time around.

I think when I was doing my UWorld in systems it was much faster, especially if I was being super selective with the topics (e.g. doing a whole block of just physiology, or just pathology). When you do the questions in a random mode you will be getting some stuff that you may not have seen in a few days or more and it might take a little thinking to bring that info to the surface of your conscious thinking. n = 1 of course, but I usually finish UWorld with 10-20 minutes to spare and then go through flagged questions leisurely (random and unused only). When I do NBMEs I am usually using almost every minute available though :S
 
i havent done a block that specific yet, just done it the entire system so you do get some non-system questions here and there, but just wondering if maybe i should slow down a bit, a lot of times by just looking at the answers in half a second you can almost sniff what theyre asking
