Its a horrendous sin to leave a section unfinished, as the gmat severely penalizes u for unanswered questions,
for better time management just take a stop watch, and time ur rc's to under 8 mins,
10 sc's to under 15 mins etc.
you have to find out what works best for u,
for example i I took a random set of 41 questions from OG :
1>timed 4 rc's and finished them under 30 mins
2>times 27(rc+ sc) questions and finished them under 45 mins.
(I used a lap timer) Its important not to do all the rc/sc/cr questions at a single stretch, so use book marks and switch between sections intermittently,
sounds tedious, but worked for me :)
