Dear sanjeev,
The only reason you are not finding enough time to finish the section is because you are investing too much time on a tough question and you find it difficult to just quit, guess and move on. So thats what you gotta train yourself. Take many practice tests and remember that when you cannot solve a problem in 2 mins, then you are not supposed to - so take an intelligent guess and move on.
Second thing that i could suggest is to polish your fundamentals. This will allow you to approach a question and solve it faster..

Thanks hk
I started to review math from OG11 and also MGMAT (all 5 prep guide)
and I found that I am spending more time in data sufficiency than PS questions.
