Do you guys do triage? I.E you do the passages in order and leave questions blank and come to them later?

or

do you guys do a passage at a team. I.E you read the passage do every single question then move on?

Always, Always, Always skip harder questions. If you read a question and are iffy to the point where you're about to sit there and contemplate, MARK and SKIP. 10 minutes left to complete 5 hard questions is much less stressful than 10 minutes to complete 10 easy questions.

I had a lot of trouble timing the PS section until I stopped all the skipping around and began setting 8 minutes per passage. I didn't go do discretes first. I tried doing physics first then chem, but again skipping around wasted more of my time and that's how down the minute bad my timing was. So I cut that. When doing a passage I tried for every question, if I thought it was harder than could be done in a minute or two, I guessed and marked it and went on.
