What i will suggest is try to remember to make a mind map in cr questions, the less you write the more time you save, but dont do this at the cost of accuracy!

Hello,

I am having time management issues in Verbal , and i have now prepared as much as i could
I have come to conclusion no matter how i attempt , I will be left with 4-5 Question towards the end .
My score till 28-29 question is around V38 , which then drops to V34-V35 due to successive mistakes . Additionally in block 3 of verbal i loose accuracy too looking at the clock and knowing that i'll have to guess last 5.
Given right amount of time to attempt my accuracy is around 75% , so i want to employ a skipping strategy - so all the skips are not towards the end .

If any expert can suggest , or provide articles written , debriefs of students in similar situation it will help a lot .

What i plan to do is : Skip 1 Q in 15-20 , Skip 1-2 in 20-28 , and Skip 2 in 28-36. I have planned this as per how the algorithm behaves .
My Q type timings are approx : SC - 1:50, CR - 2:15 , RC - 2:10.

I plan to take 2-3 mocks with this strategy and take the exam in 8-10 Days .

I don't recommend to guess in 1st quarter. It affects your final score. But don't spend so much time. Save for the end.
