Hello fellow GMATers,
I recently wrote a couple of MGMAT CAT practice exams and both times, I noticed I was struggling with time. I found myself spending 4-5 minutes on a few questions, accumulating a time deficit of approximately 10 minutes by the time I'm nearing the end of the exam.
How do you guys advise for me to tackle this problem?
Is it strategic to simply look guess an answer (literally random guess) if a question seems too difficult to answer? For example, if I come across a DS - combinatorics/probability question (my weakness), then should I simply blindly choose C and move on?
I appreciate any tips!

I suggest that you manage your time in batches of 5 questions. To that end, you can use the following Milestone Charts to keep you on track:
These times are easily remembered so you can quickly jot them on your noteboard on test day.

Thank you for the quick reply. I have an additional question after watching your video. If I understood the video correctly, it IS advised to immediately guess on a question if I am 2+ minutes behind the timer and I will NOT be penalized for doing so. I once heard that the algorithm penalizes you for immediately guessing on a question - that you need to send at least several seconds before moving on to the next question.
Is this true?
