  The time you spend per question on an LR section will be distributed across a range. 84 seconds is simply the average of a 35 minute section divided by 25 questions. On a real-deal timed PT you will be banking time on the easy questions to expend on the harder questions. Generally speaking (this is not an absolute, but holds very well across all PTs) the first 9-10 questions will be on the easier end. From my own experience, the range of about 12-19 is where you will normally see questions that will take you a bit longer than the 1-10 range.

  Delving a bit beyond your initial question, skipping strategies are also an integral part to many test taker's approach, there is a webinar on the topic that you might find useful. It can be found here: https://7sage.com/webinar/skip-it/

  Any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

  In addition to the above comments, you might find a recent post on this matter instructive. It can be found here:

  Agreed with @BinghamtonDave . The average time is largely arbitrary. If I spend 1:35 on a 1 star question, that's an error even if I get the right answer. If I spend 2:30 on a 5 star in my extra time at the end, I'm fine with that. So it really does depend.

  Like @"Cant Get Right" and @BinghamtonDave said above me it is sort of relative. For example, I try to do MP questions ins :35 seconds and harder Parallel reasoning in 2 minutes...
