It's quite sad but I never have enough time to finish the last remaining passage. So if there are only 3-5 minutes left, and you have a whole new passage remaining, what would be the ideal approach?

Where is info on JY's memory method?
Have you checked out J.Y.'s memory method? It's worked great for me.
As an aside point, this section really just tests your short term retention. Hence, which is why some questions are time traps and others you must learn to skip/make an educated guess on.
I'm in the same boat as you. As of now, the only thing I found that works is just going for the specific questions. I can't say this is the best method, but its far easier to answer a question that is asking you about a few specific lines than about a question that is asking you what the author's argument is when you have not read the passage in its entirety. Granted, you do have to understand the author's position (even if it is neutral) to answer specific questions with accuracy, but that doesn't mean you can't get 1 or 2 here and there. And 1 or 2 here and there CAN go a long way when it comes to your scaled LSAT score. If you come up with any better methods or figure out a way to improve timing, please share. I get shat on by RC daily and it is not fun.
In fact, I got a -2 on my RC in my diagnostic test....damn these newer RC's!!
@tsamvelyan580 But is that average with the newer RC or the older ones? Cause I used to get minus 1 or minus 0 on the older ones too...Now my average is looking more like -6 on the more recent ones...and that's with Mike Kim's book's help...
I just got the LSAT Trainer - So far it's a great book and a very easy read (unlike blueprint)
@tsamvelyan580 definitely will check it out thank you!!
Mike Kim The LSAT Trainer... Excellent book, recommended by JY (in a previous post) and the book even gives a shout out to 7Sage. It has an excellent section on reading comp. I read it and applied it and have went from -6 to avg -1. It helps you prioritize "how you read" and it helps speed you up, at least in my case.
Grame Blackley is also a choice, I have read lots of positives but I have no 1st hand experience with his info.
@uribemarlene929 I wasn't able to find the link as well.. do you have a specific link?
Hey @ marleybaby! I googled it but came up with so much stuff! Can you post a specific link?
Hey ! google grame blackely and his reading comp posts!
