Hi Rickooreo.
You can do timed verbal practice, giving yourself 1:48 for each question or 18 minutes for 10 questions.
You can do hybrid timed practice in which you answer a question in two minutes and then give yourself more time to continue working on it and see whether you still choose the same answer when you have more time.
You can do time minimization practice in which you answer questions as fast as you can. In this case, you don't keep yourself to 1:48 each but rather shoot for whatever is the least time you need, seeking to reduce the time per question as you practice. So, if you were answering questions in, say, 3 minutes each, you'd work on getting the time down to 2:45 or 2:30.
All that said, what's really going to make you faster is developing stronger skills. So, completely untimed, very thorough practice is key for getting faster at GMAT verbal.
For some more ideas on how to speed up in verbal, see this post.

Hey Rickooreo
In addition to what MartyTargetTestPrep has said, it is very important to first understand what stage of preparation you're in. There is such a thing as "putting the cart before the horse" when it comes to GMAT Verbal Prep. So, you want to be very careful, or else you'll end up extending the duration of your prep indefinitely.
GMAT Prep happens in stages. And there are three stages to anybody's prep, be it in Verbal or Quant:
- Stage 1: Learning Concepts and Methodologies, and Applying them to GMAT style questions.
Stage 2: Cementing Concepts and Methodologies of individual Sub-sections by solving GMAT Style questions, first in relaxed timing and then in standard timing.
Stage 3: Test Readiness & Full Length Mocks.
Judging from your queries on GMAT Club, I believe you're currently in the first stage of your preparation (please do correct me if I'm wrong). This means you should NOT be worrying about your speed at this stage AT ALL! Your singular focus needs to be on ACCURACY. Unless you learn the relevant concepts and the right approach to solving each question type, you're not going to reach the desired accuracy levels, which are 100% in Easy, 80%+ in Medium, and 70%+ in Hard questions for a target of V40 or higher.
Once you reach your desired accuracy levels, only then is it time to start working on SPEED. All you need to do now is turn on the timer and try to finish a certain number of questions in a fixed amount of time. Start with relaxed time limits, and then slowly reduce the amount of time to complete a topic or sectional quiz. Focus on reducing "regression" to the bare minimum (if not eliminating it completely). Working on speed enhancement from stage 2 onwards (after you've mastered the right concepts and methodologies) ensures that you don't end up trying to get faster at solving questions incorrectly.
Finally, once you reach your speed targets at individual sub-sections, it's time for full length mocks. This gears you up for the challenges of a full length exam.
Feel free to reach out to us for more detailed speed enhancement techniques once you reach stage 2.
Happy Learning!
