I noticed I'm always nearly out of time when it comes time to do the last passage in VR. I usually have around 5min, which for me is not enough as I tend to need to read slower to comprehend the material. I know that reading and answering questions faster will net me more time for the last passage but what I'm asking is if I do find myself in a situation where I have 4-5min left for the last passage, what are some strategies I can use to fully utilize the time and get a "decent" shot at it instead of having it give me a -4 or -5 to my total score...

Should I randomly guess? Read questions and search for answers? Read first and last paragraphs only??

Any opinions on this matter are greatly appreciated. Taking the Oct 25 exam and I'm terrified to open my score a month later and see I got a "5" on verbal (this happened on AAMC 9)
