There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:
Just finished MGMAT SC problem guide in both OG/VR and practicing problems there seems pretty straight forward; do all the assigned problems in a section and review. With RC however there are no sections but rather a bunch of problems. What's a recommended strategy for practicing RC with OG/VR? Practice X amount of problems in Y time? Do you look ahead and determine if it a short or long passage and set a time limit based on that? Do you pick a set time and try to get through as many passages? Just curious what is the most optimal way.

For a passage, if it is taking me approximately 2 minutes per question at an average, I feel ok with the time. This 2 minutes, by the way, includes reading the passage and answering the questions.
However, I have also wondered that by just looking at the passage, I don't believe there is any way to determine whether that passage will have 3 questions or 4 questions associated with it. I feel that this is an information that can perhaps be provided during the exam, because then it will help us pace ourselves better.
For example, I see (what I think is) a long passage, and so, assuming that there would be 4 questions, I spend more time on reading the passage; but then it turns out that there are only 3 questions related to that passage. Then my entire timing goes for a toss.
Does anyone have any suggestions in this regard.
