Need help with strategy for verbal. Please respond

here is what I used for a schedule:

I was really good with SC, so I took only 45sec to 1.5 mins per question
CR - 1.5 mins per question or less
RC - 7-8 mins per passage; this means 5mins for reading and 2-3 mins for questions.

if you multiply all of these things, you will get around 75 mins total.

As to the strategy for CR, I used that of Kaplan:
1. Read the question first (not super helpful, but still)
2. Read passage carefully.
3. Paraphrase it
4. Read the question again
5. Answer the question without reading the answer choices
6. Find your answer choice.

For SC, since I had to take TOEFL and I used that book for a long time as a reference - when you don't speak English as your first language - you actually have to remember all the grammar rules
Anyway, I just used my ear to check the sentences and then if I could not crack it, I used a quick checklist that consisted of the most common errors I missed. I don't the acutal list anymore, but here is a rough example:
1. Check Subj-Verb agreement
2. Check Plural/Singluar
3. Check Parallel
4. Check idiom
5. Check article
6. Check adjective/adverb

This is just an example

I think I got it covered
