Quant accuracy is fine but my timing is terrible

I have been working on Quant for a while and my accuracy during untimed practice is actually decent. The problem starts as soon as I add a timer.

I can solve most medium level questions when there is no pressure, but during mocks I sometimes spend four or five minutes on a question because I making silly mistake due to pressure. By the time I realize that I should move on, I have already lost too much time.

My recent mock had a Quant score that was much lower than what I normally get while practicing. When I reviewed the questions later, I could solve many of them within two minutes.

I am now wondering whether I should focus on increasing solving speed or first become more comfortable with identifying when a question is taking too long.

For those who improved their Quant timing, what actually worked for you? Did you practice sets with strict time limits or did you simply do more mixed questions?
