bananabread1212 Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hey guys! Does anyone know if the timer will keep going when the 10min/30min breaks r up? I did the aamc FL last year and u had to click "next" even after the break was over. But this year, the timer just keeps going. Has anyone taken the real mcat.. what was is like? Also, for those who have taken the mcat already, would u recommend eating during the 10min breaks? I get hungry pretty quickly lol but idk if 10min is enough for signing in/out, going to the washroom, and a snack? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chels1267 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 The timer will keep going when the breaks are up and automatically take you to the next section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you been doing when you do full lengths, if you're that far in your prep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 yeah this is probably going to be something you learn about during your full practise exams (which is why you have to take them as full exams in my opinion - part of mcat training is practicing dealing with an exam which is very long relative to anything else people have had in the past. You cannot train for a marathon by running sprints over and over again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make note of the clock and use it as a break to relax and de-stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chkchkchickens Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 10 min is enough time to have a quick snack or run to the bathroom. Usually the people working the test are pretty fast and efficient. I found it was nice to leave the testing room during the breaks to clear my head for a second before going back in. That being said, a guy on my test date downed two redbulls during his lunch and went right back in to the test, so you do you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
