Hi shrutya,

If you're finishing the Quant or Verbal sections more than a minute or two early then you DO have a pacing problem - you're moving too quickly and probably making some silly mistakes as a result.

If you have not yet done so, you should do a question-by-question review of this CAT and define WHY you're getting questions wrong:

1) How often is it because of a silly/little mistake?
2) How often is it because the question is too hard or you don't know how to answer it?
3) How often do you 'narrow it down to 2 choices, but "guess" wrong?"

The answers to these questions will give you an idea of what you need to focus on. If you're finishing both the Quant and Verbal sections early, then part of what you must do to improve is SLOW DOWN and TAKE MORE NOTES.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I noticed your IR score of 3 -- ideally you want to put enough mental effort into doing better in IR, but not at the expense of the main Verbal and Quant sections.

Having said that, you mentioned you were looking for free resources. Well, for IR, your best bet would be the Practice Pill Platform -- which you can access here: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/gma ... -reasoning
