Instead of the time btw the Q and V sections, you can also think about using the time before starting the test and the remaining time, if any, during the essay sections. This way, you can use the time before V to take a quick bite and focus on the next section.
I used grid like the one below. Same can be used for both Math and Verbal sections. And importantly, it is quick and easy to sketch out the grid anytime you need it.

I suppose this will not be applicable to the Paterson Vue test which gives you 'white boards' instead of scratch papers.

Thanks gsr and ValleyBall1 - both grid ideas are very helpful to test takers. I will see what I can use and works for me while giving the practice tests.
