The answer to this is probably there's no good strategy other than practice alot or become Mr. Streetwolf. I've tried tactic#1 - skip & Mark, come back later and tactic#2 solve as much as fast as you can. When I tried #1, I find that I have to re-read the wp, therefore waste additional time and not finishing much as if I didn't work on them at all or don't know how to solve them all even if I definitely do know how. When I tried #2, I got some correct, but not much. It's a far shot, but I was just wondering if you have any great strategy to deal with word problems (wp) in terms of time management?

The ideal time to solve each problem is 1min 7sec. It seems like 40% of these practice word problems can be solve within 1 min 7 sec. The other 30% can be solve within 2min. The last 30% of practice wp seems to be too hard to finish even within 2 min even if you can eventually solve it. What would you do?
