How the time is enforced
Section timers run independently — when a section ends, the next begins. You cannot bank unused time from one section to another. The on-screen clock shows minutes remaining in the current section only.
What else takes time on test day
- Check-in: 15–30 minutes (ID, palm vein scan, locker, seating).
- Tutorial / instructions: 5–10 minutes before the first section.
- Optional break between Math and Science: up to 10 minutes; section timers do not pause.
- Survey at the end: 5 minutes (unscored).
Practise under real time pressure
Take a full timed 170-question TEAS 7 practice test at least twice during prep — pacing is half the battle.
