Self-study
I'm having a hard time with the timing component. When I do drills, should I only answer what I can or is it better to answer all the questions even if they are guesses? As I'm looking at my analytics I can tell there is a problem because I'm guessing on half the section. When I just look at the questions I actively worked my percentage correct is better. Thoughts?

Sorry yall but i've heard the opposite - prioritize 100% accuracy over completing all the questions in each section. Once you get better with your accuracy, you will start getting more questions correct faster.
I would use this strategy:
If you feel like you're getting "stuck" on a question, flag it, pick the answer choice you're leaning towards, and move on. Come back to it later if you have time. You want to go for all the low-hanging fruit and make sure you don't run out of time on the questions you can get right. Don't sink too much time into question 10, for example, to have only 1 minute left for all the remaining questions.
Best of luck to you!
Timing should be the last thing you worry about. Focus on understanding the questions first, then worry about how fast you answer them. If you focus on timing without actually knowing what the answer is, then you're just learning how to guess faster instead of learning how to answer the questions correctly. I would focus on individual questions now if you have to guess on half the timed section, or do the section untimed.
never leave a question unanswered. before I got the timing down, I'd take the last 20 seconds and pick D for every question I couldn't answer. if you guess on 10 questions, you'll might get 2-3 of them right
