This is exactly the strategy I used for the transportation exam. The tabbing was extremely vital. Hammering through all of the material I was familiar with and could knock out in 1-2 minutes left ample time to pick through the remaining questions.I never used the six minute problems, but from what I have heard they are pretty difficult to finish in 6 minutes.
Gaining speed for me was mainly knowing where to find stuff easily (tabbing and cheat sheets) and doing several passes on the questions solving easier ones first. You would be surprised how many questions you can do under a minute or two.
