1) I tend to have good accuracy and timing when I do tests for which I don't allocate time, but where I do take into account how much time the questions took. How can I avoid going through the pressures of timing?
2) Another problem I face during timed tests is that I waste a few seconds trying to calculate / analyse / understand if I have enough time or not left for remaining Qs.
3) Also, am unable to judge if I have put more than 2 mins for a question, to be able to take a call and move to next question.

All in all, judgement of time is my problem. Any suggestions?

Do not calculate so much. Simply have a rule of thumb, for example after 10 problems I would have T minutes left. This may look as follows in quant:

-10: 55 min
-20: 35
-15: 15
..

What you really need to practice is that know your pacing/(time estimation) i.e. what it is like doing e.g. 10 quant problems in 20 minutes.
Also, you should be aware when it is time to skip/guess on a question. E.g. if you still haven't started working on the problem after a minute or 80 seconds. Maybe it is better to skip instead of staring in the screen and doing nothing...
