Here is an immediate solution: rather than taking the time your need to solve every problem fully, then running out of time on the last 7-9 questions, SKIP 7-9 questions intermittently throughout the verbal section.

Because of the adaptive scoring on the test, missing a string of questions at the end will hurt your score far more than missing scattered questions throughout. Compare what happens when you run out of time:


... versus what happens when you skip intermittently:


Some people (especially people whose first language is not English) will never be able to speed up on the verbal while maintaining accuracy; the test is simply too difficult for that.

Rather than focusing your attention on how to speed up (i.e. change your own processing), focus on developing a solid game plan (i.e. change your strategy). Analyze all of the CATs & practice problems you've done, and determine:
- types of questions that are more worth your time: ones you're likely to get right
- types of questions that are NOT worth your time: ones you're likely to get wrong regardless. Plan to skip these.

Then, develop a timing strategy:
- what are your timing benchmarks?
- how will you set up your yellow pad according to these benchmarks?
- what will you do if you're behind?
