Hi,
Currently I use the following strategy for verbal when iam short of time.
I make educated guesses/random guesses on CR questions when iam short of time.The reasons are:
1)Random guessing on a CR question saves you 2mins straight
2)Guessing on RC can be costly as i think gmat gives more imp to rc.Alo,after going through a passage for 3-4 mins,it does not make any sense to guess on questions as one is already aware of passage content.
3)Sc is my srength and dont want to guess on that as it takes <=1 min and is my strength area.
Is my strategy correct or does gmat prefer even number of mistakes in each section.
I have exhausted my mgmat cats in my last attempt.
The foll is the data from my knewton cats.numbers given indicate total number of mistakes.
Cat 1:RC=2,sc=2,cr=7 total verbal score=40
cat2 :rc=1 sc=3,cr=3 35
cat 3:rc=0,sc=2.cr=2 35
cat4:rc=0,sc=0,cr=6 35
cat 5 rc=2,sc=2.cr=2 41
please help me out qucikly as my exam is on feb7
