Early on in your prep (like Day 5), there's a danger in focusing too much on your timing. In my view, this focus has the potential to actually hinder your preparation. I feel so strongly about the whole timing issue that I wrote two articles about it:
- Making Friends with Time on the GMAT - Part I (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2011/06/ ... mat-part-i)
- Making Friends with Time on the GMAT - Part II (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2011/07/ ... at-part-ii)
Executive Summary: Use a timer, but only to get an idea of what 2 minutes feels like. Later on (once you've covered all of the content), you can start working on your speed.

Executive Summary of the Executive Summary: Content First - Speed Second

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Brent

I was actually about to ask this same question. Any advice on when in the 60 day plan the focus should shift to timing and speed?

As I mention in my articles, it's okay to get a "feel" for timing throughout your prep, but I'd start focusing on timing/speed once you've learned all of the content (i.e., Day 42 of the Study Guide)

Cheers,
Brent
