How to identify "skip" questions

In my latest simulated full tests, I am trying to implement the suggested theory of skipping a really hard question. How do you define which ones to skip? Should we base it solely on time - if a question is sucking up too much time move on? Or should we decide it as soon as we read it? I find that one I am invested in a question, I want to stay on it. In my last test, I did not feel that skipping the ones that I found difficult helped my test score.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thnks!

I agree with harrismegan. Look at your analytics and really hammer the LR question types you do the worst at.

Also, have you practiced a timed test with skipping a few questions? I hate to skip, but I found by skipping one or two long/difficult LR questions, I seem to have much more time for that section and therefore I am more accurate. Plus, you can always go back to them if you end up with extra time.

I am actually best at RC and read quickly. I have problems deciding which LR questions to skip. I will study which LR questions I get wrong the most and try to use that when considering skipping.

Yes, I am BRing - but during the first go thru of the test, I feel that I am spending time trying to decide if I should skip a question. (lol) I guess I am just wondering if people make that decision by time only or question type. I will continue trying out both on my practice tests.
