Sec1
I read each question properly and arrange them as Easy , Med and Dif .... the problem is that I end up wasting 6-8 minutes in this practice and that takes a toll on my number of attempts. Earlier I used to attempt DI first but in papers where DI was difficult I ended up wasting 30-35 minutes on DI section itself.embarrased

Sec 2
I quickly complete my PJs , Vocab etc. question and then complete my LR subsection. I reserve the last 30-40 minutes for RC passages. It seems to be working fine for me. mg
