Mastering both speeding up and slowing down allows you to remain in the driver's seat as you take the test. If you don't drive, the LSAT will, and the LSAT is a terrible driver.
Difficulty is subjective

If you thought it was easy, then it was easy.
Suggested Timing Benchmarks
In general, gain time on easier questions, so that you can take your time on harder questions.
Warning
These benchmarks are what I would use on test day to achieve a top score. Adapt them to your needs.
If you aren't close to your test day score goals, modify these targets by giving yourself more time or doing fewer questions. If you're doing [skill] practice, give yourself much more time to do even fewer questions.
