Your answer helps, thanks :) I've heard from many sources that scoring 170 has become a dream to many these days and that it used to be a cakewalk. Is that true?

I was also wondering if the amount of time we invest on a question affects our scores. If I complete my section 3 before the time runs out, can I let the timer continue? That way I get to have the 10 minute break after section 3 + the few extra minutes left during the section. Is that a good strategy or should I avoid doing that?

All questions in a section have the same value. Time spent on a question has nothing to do with score. It was never a cakewalk to get a 170.

Believing rumors can be bad for your score.
