Improving your timing on the GMAT is a journey that requires a blend of strategic practice and managing exam stress. By consistently practicing under timed conditions, you'll gradually get used to the pressure. Creating a mental map of each section before you start will give you a sense of direction, helping you know which questions to tackle quickly and which to spend more time on, boosting your confidence and motivation.

Understanding and addressing your weaker areas is crucial. The more comfortable you become with the material, the faster you'll be able to navigate questions. Learning shortcut techniques, especially for quantitative questions, can also significantly reduce the time you spend on each problem, giving you a sense of control and capability.

Since anxiety seems to play a significant role in your performance, integrating mindfulness or relaxation exercises into your routine might help. Techniques like deep breathing or brief meditation before starting the exam can calm your nerves.

Lastly, always take the time to review your practice tests thoroughly. Understanding where you lost time and why will prevent you from repeating the same mistakes and help you become more efficient. With patience and persistence, you'll see your timing improve.
