hiya, I too am planning to give GMAT mid-December. Frankly, I just planned to prepare and give GMAT. I don;t want to wait another year, so why not now!!
I gave GMATPrep EXAM 1 and scored 610 - Q45(incomplete) & V28(with 20 minutes remaining)
Read some material and attempted the same exam again with may be one repeat question in Quant and Verbal
Scored 680 - Q45(this time complete) and V38(1 min remaining).
I tried another test - found after reading through forums, I had started overanalyzing sc questions. I ran overtime in Verbal and killed my score to 640.
My main issue is timing. Somehow that clock running back and question nos. decreasing does not work for me. Any of you got some tricks to help me?
you could use this timing strategy and see if it works. Also its important to focus on those 1st 10 questions and here's why the links are below.
gmat-prep-analysis-tool-102803.htmlun-scientific-analysis-of-gmatprep-64970.htmlAs for the timing strategy try this
Quants : Solve 7 to 8 questions every 15 mins. The progress record should be like
Time elapsed Current question
75 min 1
60 7 or 8
45 14 or 15
30 21 or 22
15 28 or 29
Verbal : Solve 8 to 9 questions every 15 mins. The progress record should be like
Time elapsed Current question
75 min 1
60 8 or 9
45 16 or 17
30 24 or 25
15 32 or 33
You could modify the above and probably check the time at 45 and then at 15 instead of multiple breakdowns.
