Hi Jim
I take more time to understand word problems, so IR is taking time and miss out few words or details and usually get one of the two sub questions wrong,i am able to answer only 8 or 9 questions in IR
Even in run out of time in Maths and verbals sections
or make plenty of guesses during last 10 questions in maths
and in verbal last 4 to 5 questions and if i get a passage even a short one at question number 36,i find it very difficult to read and mostly guess the answers matching words from the passage
Please help with some approaches
Regards
Ganesh

First off -- and the bold font is intentional here... THERE IS NO "CARRYOVER" EFFECT FROM IR TO QUANT/VERBAL Think of them as completely separate tests!
That said, here's a great link with some thoughts about how to best fine-tune your time management skills -- https://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/index ... nt-part-1/. Take a look, and then ping me back with more specific questions.
Best,
