Hi! Want to know whether GMAT allows Carry forward of Remaining time from maths section to verbal section?

I am really confused. In the princeton practice tests that I have attempted, the remaining time on maths section ( since I normally complete it 20 minutes before schedule time) lapses when I go to next section.

This won't happen on the actual GMAT.

thanks. If i understand you correctly, it means that carry forward is allowed and I can make use of those 20 minutes in Verbal section?

Nah.
If you try the Kaplan CAT, you'll notice that carry forward is NOT allowed. I took the GMAT last time. This restriction also applies to the actual GMAT. I did finish the quant section less than 75 minutes. But there's no reward.

The best way to avoid the time squeeze is to practice under timed conditions, so that you get a sense for how quickly you must proceed to get through a multiple-choice section within the allotted time.

Download the official GMAT PowerPrep and take the PowerPrep Test 1https://www.mba.com/mba/TaketheGMAT/ToolsToHelpYouPrepare/GMATPrepProducts/PowerprepSoftware.htm

This probably will give you a better idea.

well if u really want to be cheeky, if u finish maths section early, dont hit confrim for your last answer for your maths question. wait until time almost runs out and then click next. this is damn risky though and i wouldnt recommend it.
