Thanks for the advice. I just dont get some of the really tough CR questions and the answers they give. I could argue until my face is blue that 2 of the answers I picked were better than the ones that they picked.


If you are struglling for 35+, then you have some weaknesses to address.
You can improve your CR using LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible.

As you already mentioned, you have trouble focusing and need to re-read at times. This turned out affecting timing and possibly accuracy.

During GMAT preparation, it is not only important to get the questions right (by learning techniques for each question types and practicing), but also build up the mental toughness (think about muscle building).

GMAT is a long test, it consists of 3 sections and takes approximately 4 hours (include breaks). It is very important to build up the mental toughness before the exam.

When I say mental toughness, it means FOCUS and STAMINA. Stamina allows a person to stay focused throughout the whole exam.

Well thats the thing, it seems like stamina is my problem but it seems like everyone on this forum doesnt even need to practice their mental stamina. They just study the material and thats it.

Maybe I have ADD or something. I do make a lot of stupid mistakes at work if I dont really really focus and when I was a kid I couldnt sit in one place at one time. And my mind always tends to wander off, even today. Who knows really....
