Dear friend, I had the same problem.
I will tell you my strategy that helped and let me know if it works for you
Gmat penalizes you very dearly if you skip a passage, even if it is the last one. I am strongest in SC followed by RC and lastly CR. Note, almost 95% of the time you will get 4 passages. I write the passage number in my note pad, as and when I get it on the test. If three passages have come and gone and I am running out of time and I know there is one still remaining, I spend less time on CRs which are anyways less likely for me to get right. This helps me save time for the last RC.
(of course we have to work on our reading speeds too )
Let me know whether this works for you.
All the best with your prep!

I understand your issue - I had the same one so I optimized my timing on the rest of the Verbal questions (SC's and CR's) to save as much time as I could for RC. It was critical to my accuracy to be able to read through the entire passage and think about it (which meant I could not skip or rush through it).
Here is what you should do:
You know you will see 4 RC's with 13 questions total.
Figure out how much time that will take, e.g. 4.5 mins per passage + 30 secs per question (that would be around 25 mins total out of 65)
So you have 40 mins left to answer the remaining 23 or so questions. I think that's very doable. You may get that you need 30 mins for RC, and that's OK too - you can answer 23 questions in 35 mins too (tougher but doable). You can't change the format of the GMAT, but you can reallocate the time.
Good Luck! More here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/timing-strat ... ml?fl=menu
