Is there anything called "perfect bail out strategy" given that I find it extremely challenging to manage time and accuracy on the verbal section despite keeping check points in mind (10-10-10-6 questions in 20-18-17-10 mins)
1)If I decide to guess on any 700 level question, then I might just have to waste 30 seconds in reading and identifying the difficulty level of the Question and further invest some more time in making an educated guess before I can actually move on to the next
2) If I decide to randomly guess a question, should I not spend sometime in reading and finding out its level (that would again take me at least 30 seconds especially if its a CR question it might take even longer) , as I don't want to end up guessing on a 500 level question...

Well, it all depends on what score you’re looking for. You cannot really afford to plan to be guessing she’s looking for a high score. Planning to be guessing it’s kind of like planning to lose. However, that may allow you to save from going through a rigorous prep time to speed yourself up.
I guess one question I would ask is another particular question types that make you slow down?
My approach was to attempt every question because I wanted to get as many points as I could. At the same time, I knew that I couldn’t waste time dillydallying and thinking and pondering so I had to make fast calls. Once you get to high verbal level, above 37 or 40, the difference between correct and incorrect answers become very blurred. You could spend 10 minutes on a question and you would not be any closer than you were at minute one.
My suggestion would be to try to speed up if it all possible. If it is not possible, I would try to give each question at least 30-45 seconds. And not give any question more than two minutes. Obviously reading comprehension is a whole separate story.
I would also say that guessing has a mental impact on you because you’re ultimately giving up. And they feel when you come to the battle planning to give up, that’s going to make you give up too much and not fight enough. That is why I feel developing a guessing strategy is a tough proposition and a tricky solution.

Just to add. You can search around for guessing strategy. You can search on GMAT Club or you can Google and search on other websites. You may find a few nuggets. However, usually you get the highest score by attempting every question and giving up on hard questions while maintaining your composure and timing throughout the test.
