Is 50 minutes for a test that has 50 multiple choice questions reasonable?

I am struggling in a college class where our only graded work consists of exams. Each exam lasts 50 minutes and includes 50 multiple-choice questions. I feel that this time frame is insufficient, especially considering that the material is presented rapidly, and we are not informed about the specific content that will be on the test. The exams require a deep understanding of the subject matter rather than simple memorization, and I need more time to read and thoughtfully consider each question.

Any way you can get lots of sample questions so you can practice on your speed?

If you have a complete understanding of everything, things get easier and quicker, not harder.  A MC question that you know the answer to should take 20-30s max. Sounds like you’re cramming instead of understanding, or overthinking and getting crippled by analysis paralysis.  Go through each question and jot down the first answer that comes to mind.  Those you might be confused by, put a star next to it.  Spend more time on those, and just answer what your intuition says for the rest.  If you understand the material it will be right.
