I enjoyed the letter but I don't agree with your point about the time. I personally just go as fast as I can and when they say there's 5 minutes left or whatever, 2 minutes, I just guess the rest. I know it's timed so I go as fast as I can. If you can't get through enough of the questions without guessing before the time is up then your Japanese skills were not good enough for the section is my opinion.
