The most important thing is planning. That's why you should read the
script first of all. You spot the tasks that need clarification,
tasks that need further research (yup, there are several points where
I bet that you don't know the answer if you hadn't read the entire
documentation), tasks that might require extra time because you are
not sure etc and you allocate time in advance. In other words, you
prevent time pressure. Another thing is making you own diagrams and
adding information that is not in the provided diagrams (e.g.
loopbacks, a VLAN needed for remote port monitoring and things like
that).
Usually, if you take the R&S, you will be doing the basics almost
automatically and finish the IGP until lunch. But what if something
goes wrong? Once again, if you know what is down the road, it is
easier to handle the time pressure.
My 2 cents,

P.S. In my lab, the initial config was absolutely wrong and I have got
a time extension (the proctor had to reset the whole thing). But
because at that time I was reading the lab, I actually got extra time
for nothing. It was a huge psychological advantage, even if i didn't
use that time eventually.

Skimming the Qn paper to get a high level overview of what is expected from the lab gives me a sense of what will break and which ones need re-fixing. For example, if I see port security and at a later point I see VRRP that shud ring a bell that there might be problems when I add VRRP on a router connected to a port for port security. Besides such things, what other things should I look out for when I skim through the Qn paper ?
