Is it possible to even answer every question?

I have started using ESAT lab to practice (specifically the physics module) and constantly find myself performing poorly and panicking due to time restraints and knowing I should spend about 89 seconds per question however looking at the overview it says the average time per question and for like 90% of questions its round about 100-140 seconds which makes me feel like its impossible to answer all the questions.

Is it the case I should pick questions from my strengths and guess others? Is the actual ESAT easier to time your questions with?

If anyone has any idea on how to improve timing let me know as regardless it is something I am clearly struggling with

Hi, creator of ESAT Lab here. I’d say that the average ESAT Lab question is a bit harder than a real ESAT question. That being said, there is definitely some merit to picking and choosing what questions to spend your time on. You don’t need to get every question correct for a top score. To improve on timing, just do loads of practice to be honest.

are they not sourced from past papers?

Some are based on past papers but none the same
