YES!

did the 200 MBE Barbri set in 4 hours instead of 6.

No. I do not have advice. I just want to say you're not alone. What I am trying to do is to spend longer on the questions that I deem 50/50s and try to lean it to 60/40.

I have the same problem. I find that when I move onto the next question, I can take a second and think "did I rush that last one?" and usually am able to answer yes or no pretty honestly. If I rushed it, I go back and re-read it. I actually change my answer a fair bit of the time.

Essentially, I try to solve 17-18 qs per 30 mins. If I find that I've solved 20 in the first 30 mins, it gives me a signal to slow down a little. At the same time, I'm aware that certain problems/subjects require more time -- like property. So really, worst case scenario, if you find you have extra time in the end, go back to the longer hypos, or your weaker questions.

Circle questions that you were not confident about. When you have time, go back a take your time on them.

On the actual exam, it is normal to finish with 30-40 minutes for each 100 question sets.
