I had the opposite problem, i was doing well in the practice tests but the first official i took i noticed i had barely 2 mintues and 5 questions left so i ended up guessing and not finishing quant for poor time mgt.
Second time i established few checkpoints like at question 10 i should have around X minutes left and so on. Other thing i did was trying to understand quickly whether i had any idea how to solve the question or not, at least two of them i realized i just had no clue what to do so i guesstimated and moved on.
Lastly - apprently the first 10 questions have an higher weight on the final result (because of the adaptive algorithm) so take more time on those (still manage carefully tho). I ended up raising from 660 to 730 in two weeks where i studies basically only verbal and did a full practice test in a starbucks to test in a distracting environment (scored a 750, ath for me)
I had same experience on my first actual exam. I guessed the last ~5 questions and ended up with a 42 (when I was scoring 49 on practice exams). Do you have any tips on questions to skip because they’ll take too long or how you got quicker at certain types of questions?
before you click the button that says "move onto the next question" you should ask yourself "is this answer answering the question" and then I recommend showing all your work, stop doing things in your head, if you have 14 minutes to spare you have some time to write your work down and also when you read the question make sure you look for words that change the question completely (i.e. how many apples does Jimmy have vs how many FEWER apples does Jimmy have)
Some tough love but a 44 seems pretty low - I don't think you can attribute your entire 44 COMPLETELY to silly mistakes - you can get like 8 questions wrong and still get a 48/49 - so I feel like you're making a lot of silly mistakes in the first 10 questions of the exam - that's my opinion I may be completely wrong but that was my first thought
Ideally you should spend 2 minutes per question, for me if I can't figure it out within 3 minutes then you should probably skip the question - but if you speed through the first half of the test and if you have the ability to spend 5 minutes on a question and still stay ahead then that's the one case where it's okay to not skip
