Test Week Strategy - Unideal PT scores

Has anyone gone into an LSAT or PT not intending to get to the last 5 questions? Studying for 4 months and my PT scores are below where I'd like them to be -- taking August and October test. I'm able to get 90% accuracy if I'm 10-20 seconds over the question target time on average (difficulty level doesn't seem to make a difference).

I know it would be ideal to naturally increase speed with accuracy but that's not the world I'm living in this week. I would save enough time to make strategic "guesses" at the end, but I'm thinking I'd rather miss the 5 last questions vs 7-10 throughout because I'm freaked out trying to finish the section. Is this a bad idea? Has anyone done this?

    I would be strategic in what you skip. There are some "easier" ones baked into the last ten. If you hit a question type you struggle with instead of getting bogged down on it, flag it, skip it, and move on to keep your overall progression going. If you have time at the end, return to the ones you think you have the best chance at. Alternatively, I've heard of some folks who never leave a skip blank... they always glance at the options and pick something quick and move on with the logic that a one in five chance is better than zero.

    Good luck!
