Keeping track of time...

Hi, I assume the general table you posted (about 2 min per) was for a math section, since you started with 35 questions at the 70 minute mark (math has 37 questions, verbal has 41). Verbal's obviously different both b/c of the greater number of questions and b/c of the time difference you can expect for the different types of questions.

I generally tell students to aim for 1 to 1.5 min for each SC question. Then, the time you save can be used for reading passages and (occasionally) the most complicated CR arguments. Most people need about 2-3 minutes to read the passage and 1.5 to 2 minutes for each question. Most people also generally need about 1.5 to 2.5 minutes per argument (depending on the individual complexity of each argument).

Generally agree. The verbal timing can vary slightly from person to person based on strengths and weaknesses, of course. And for passages - I would use timing based on per question, not per passage, b/c you could have 3 or 4 questions, the passage could be long and complicated or short and sweet, etc.
