What is the recommended time-management approach for cognitive sections?

Efficient time management in cognitive sections means prioritizing items you can answer quickly and planning a steady pace through the whole section. Start by tackling easier questions to lock in points and build momentum. As you proceed, allocate a reasonable amount of time for each item and avoid getting stuck on any single problem; if a question seems very hard, move on and come back later if time allows. This approach helps you cover more questions and reduces the chance of rushing at the end. At the end, revisit flagged items with a fresher look. Starting with the hardest items wastes precious time and can derail your pace, while random guessing or skipping everything until the last moment undermines accuracy.
