I've taken the gmatprep test and Manhattan tests and I am never able to finish the tests. In the quants sec...I can usually complete 33/37 and verbal 35/41. So on later practice exams I started skipping the questions in the beginning if it was taking too much time to solve.
I wanted to find out how the scoring works? Is it better to take time and solve the questions in the beginning of the test even if I don't have time for 5 questions at the end or is it better to skip questions that are taking time to solve. How does each approach affect the scoring?
Exam is in 10 days. Any input would be appreciated.

There is a high penalty in leaving any question unanswered. So make sure you answer each and every question in the exam. Time management is very important, and you have to know when it's time to move on. I would suggest if you are stuck with any question for more than 2.5 mins please do an educated guess (and if you'v got no clue then do not hesitate to make a wild guess) and keep going. You may spend a little extra time in the initial questions (as they would decide which score-range will you end up). If you have a couple of mins left for last 4-5 questions, use process of elimination and guess if needed. Make sure you do not spend time re-reading the questions when you are running late.
Make the best use of last 10 days by taking complete mock tests and you'll surely succeed.
All the best.

You can not "skip" a question on the exam. You must provide an answer before you may move on to the next question.
Missing lower ranked problems will hurt your score more than missing higher ranked problems. Missing consecutive questions will drop your score band down (how the exam assess your ability). Don't try and benchmark of "knowing" what you got wrong.
Leaving questions blank (not completing the test) hurts you more than incorrect answers. It is imperative you finish the test.
