How do you approach timing in your practice tests? For example, in the verbal section, I try to follow this pattern:
T - #Qs
75 - 41
50..55 - 30
32..35 - 20
16..18 - 10
Would you say it's a bit tight for the last part of the test, or you think it's better to have enough time for the first 10..20 questions?

I did every 15 minutes I should do 8 Quant or 9 Verbal questions...
so
Time Left Quant Verbal
60 8 9
45 16 18
30 24 27
15 32 35
So at 15 minutes left, you should be on problem 32 for Quant or 35 for Verbal. giving you 15 minutes to do 6 Quant and 6 Verbal questions. This allows some leeway in case you take longer on a previous question.

this is a great thread because i have this problem. i tend to be so worried that i'm going to be rushed for time at the end that i think i rush a bit. i usually finish the quantitative with about 6-7 minutes still left and verbal with about 10 minutes still left on the clock. if i struggle on a problem, i'll make a best effort but eventually i'll think "more time won't help at this point...just move on" and i'll whittle down the answers, guess, and move on.
i'd like to be on pace to keep about 3-4 minutes of buffer just in case i run into a difficult problem (or problems) at the end and want to devote a little more time but is there an easy way to stay on pace?
on verbal it's also more difficult to gauge because of RC sections.
