MCAT Timer

The MCAT runs four scored sections over a long test day, and pacing each one is half the battle. This timer plays the full sitting in order — Chemical and Physical Foundations (95 minutes), CARS (90), the Biological and Biochemical Foundations (95), and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations (95) — with the official ten, thirty, and ten-minute breaks between them.

Practicing against the real clock is how you learn where the exam gets hard: when CARS starts to drag, when fatigue hits in the afternoon section, how long the breaks really feel. Run the whole thing for a full dress rehearsal, or open the preset in the editor and keep just one section to drill it on its own.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the MCAT?
The four scored sections total six hours and fifteen minutes of content; with breaks, check-in, and the tutorial, the test day runs around seven and a half hours. This timer covers the four sections and the breaks between them.
What are the breaks between MCAT sections?
A ten-minute break after the first section, a thirty-minute mid-exam break after CARS, and a ten-minute break after the third section. The preset includes all three so the day feels true to length.
