In my experience, speed on the GMAT is not a skill that can be practiced directly, but is instead a byproduct of other factors, such as your content familiarity, your experience level, your test management skills (knowing when to take a guess and move on, for example) and your confidence in your chosen answers, as well as the number of timed GMAT practice tests you have taken, and your ability to see through the unimportant details / get straight to the heart of the question.
In other words, it's complicated. Literally speaking, you need to "just go faster," but of course it's more complex than that. You need to have a lot of experience with the GMAT, so you know which questions you should get right, and which ones you can afford to "punt."

Hi bhavik1995,
Since you are having a hard time finishing the verbal section, it’s quite possible that you have yet to fully master GMAT verbal. However, before providing specific advice, I’d like to learn more about your situation with the GMAT. I have some questions:
1) How many times have you taken the actual GMAT? Please list the dates on which you’ve taken the GMAT, your total scores, and your quant, verbal, and IR scores, as well as how you were feeling while taking the tests.
2) How many practice GMATs have you taken? Please list the dates on which you’ve taken any practice GMATs, the total scores, and the quant, verbal, and IR scores, as well as how you were feeling while taking the tests. Also, please tell me where these tests came from (ex: mba.com).
3) Please describe how you have been studying. For how many hours a day and for how many months? What resources have you been using?
4) What is your GMAT score goal?
Once I learn a bit more about you, I can provide some detailed advice.
