Let me be the first to shed some lights on it.

I have experience of solving these sets. I have learned some important things from my study of sets.
1. Time per set:
We need to spend less than 75 minutes in those verbal sets. If we can practice those in less than 75 minutes, we will be habituated to complete the same number of questions in less than 75 minutes. It will ultimately help us in the final.
2. Should it be finished only in practice?
No. We should analyze them very carefully. Say for example, I have attempted 5 sets in time constraint. In every set I have some questions incorrect. I will have an error log for those questions, specially for the types of mistakes. I will repair myself for those errors. Then I will write explanations of another five sets. Then another five sets will be attempted on time constraint. In this way, we should continue at least 15 sets.
5 Test basis + 5 Explanation +5 Test basis.

3. Why should we analyze them?

In analysis, we become teachers. So, all the concepts will be reviewed automatically. Write explanation as we write in this forum. I have heard about Archangel, who wrote explanations for 20 sets. He got 780 in final exam.
4. Be stick to less than 75 minutes for each set:
Never compromise with the "less than 75 minutes" concept. It helps in final.
5. In math sets:
Solve at least 5 sets, then go for time test. 5 solving + 5test +5 solving + 5 test.=> go in this way.
I think almost all the maths of sets have already been discussed in this forum. If you got a math wrong, just use the search button. It will help you.

Thanks for posting such an important issue.
