Hi, I have been using kaplan Q bank for my practice. My accuracy for SC is 75% ( 148 answered correctly out of 198 ) , bad part is i can not see where i am failing in terms of difficulty wise, so i can not give you anymore statistics other than this. The average time taken for the same ( again cant get it from the statistics of kaplan ) is around 1 min 10 seconds. Do you think i am ready to take on gmat as far as SC is concerned, i mean i am asking this Q typically from the SC accuracy point of view, am targeting 700+ Or , if u think my above Q is too universal  , please give your comments for accuracy of 75% in your kaplan Q bank. The Qs were taken in slot of 15-20 every time. thanks

Hi Versatile,
Are you using the customization features of the quiz-bank to adjust the difficulty of your problems? If you're hitting 75% on high-difficulty problems only, that's a great sign. 75% on all difficulties low-high is a sign of progress, but isn't quite as impressive and might suggest you have a little more work to do to ensure you hit 700.
Good luck!
Eli

Hi, Thanks very much for your insight. My accuracy is 72% for those Q with high difficulties, actually i had only 60% accuracy in pronoun  overall, so i worked on it later on and now i am doing good. Do you think that the accuracy level of 75% correct answer across all categories ( difficult Q ) can help me score 700 ( i know its a universal Q again  , but still just trying to understand where do i stand and whether i am prepared to take on the challenge of scoring 700 0r not ) thanks again very much for your time

Hi,
I took gmat prep and scored 590 ( v-29, Q-44 )
My accuracy at OG is 70% in SC, 65% in CR and 60% in RC.
Do you think i am bad at fundamentals or you think i am bad at pacing ?
I feel really drained after 15 Qs of verbal , and really tend to loose concentration.
Please suggest how to practice Qs so i dont loose my concentration after a few q?
thanks

The best bet for improving concentration and focus is to just study. Keep working, and your endurance will build.
But also, remember to take breaks. A 74 minute test isn't that much harder than a 75 minute test, so 4 15-second breaks to close your eyes, breathe, and regain your focus can make a huge difference.
Sorry for the delayed response, but I hope this helps!
Eli
