Re: Any insights for my improvement? [#permalink]
Bunch of question being wrong in a row is DataInsights, I ran out of time and took random guess to avoid missing a question. I need to learn to do them faster. (not sure how)

Verbal is where the mistakes are spread out. I am not able to have a predictable outcome especially on the RC.

I think you are not considering all options. You need to follow a strict timing plan and schedule. Imagine that you have two minutes per question or 2.1 minutes per question and the system automatically moves to the next question after 2.1 minutes. I think your result would’ve been better if you did not overspend time in the beginning and had to skip a bunch in the end. You did not get a chance to even answer easy ones that you could have.

Have you considered keeping track of time?

Quote:
1 - I not confident on my answers on Verbal, especially RC (56th precentile), but even CR I not able to get it right with full confidence. Looking for advice to improve RC and reading speed.

If you want to practice reading but not burn official questions/passages, articles from The Economist that are similar to those on the GMAT could be helpful. Becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be useful as well. For CR, consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for Critical Reasoning.
