Timing and Pacing Techniques

## Mastering the Clock The MCAT Verbal section is as much about timing as it is about comprehension. To maximize your score, you need to pace yourself to finish all passages and questions without rushing or lingering. - **Set mini-deadlines:** Allocate a set number of minutes per passage and stick to it. - **Practice skimming:** Learn to quickly identify main ideas and structure without reading every word. - **Flag tough questions:** Mark questions to revisit if time allows, rather than getting stuck. ## Benefits in Test and Life Efficient pacing keeps you calm and focused, both on exam day and in high-pressure professional settings.
