How to differentiate between both ??

I mean , sometimes I might encounter a question that is difficult but I can get even if exceeding the time limit/question a little bit i.e it is only a few steps far .When should I decide to take that risk and solve the question and when to have a best guess and proceed saving time to other questions???

Thanks

You've got to stay roughly within the expected timeframe - which means not going beyond about 30+ seconds beyond the average for any individual question. For quant, for example, the average is 2m, so we don't want to go beyond roughly 2.5m, and certainly never longer than 3m even if that means getting the question right. The cost is too high (because if you get too behind on time, you'll get too many questions wrong that will likely be lower level and in a row - and that will absolutely kill your score).

Read this first (it's shorter), then read the article I linked at the top:
