Practice pacing as a decision process, not merely by trying to move faster. Identify where you spend time without improving the quality of the decision.

Rushing at the end often starts with over-analysis earlier. Build checkpoints so you know whether you are ahead or behind before the final section.

In practice, note time spent reading, comparing options, and revisiting earlier choices. Cut repeated checking first rather than cutting necessary reasoning.

Use timed simulations and review the moments where you changed an answer late. Your goal is consistent quality across the full assessment. For a related reference, see McKinsey Solve/PSG: Proven, Non-Nonsense Tips & Free Trial.

One thing that helped me was separating the decision from the explanation. I chose the direction first, then gave the reason.

The useful part for me was asking what decision the interviewer actually needed from me. That made the next step much easier.
