Hi everyone..
my last ditch effort to garner some guidance.
Given 3 mock tests. 2 of OG, 01 of e-gmat. Scores were as follows
1. 640 (V34,Q44)
2. 630 (V33,Q44)
3. 650 (V36,V43)
I GAVE THE FIRST TWO EXAMS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO TACKLE THE EXAMS. JUST READ THROUGH THE OG, SOLVED A FEW QUESTIONS AND ATTEMPTED IT. (What a waste, i know)
3rd one was after three months of on/off prep.
Here is the issue,
VERBAL-
In 2nd attempt- SC TWO WRONG, CR 08 WRONG, RC-06 WRONG, so i thought my CR was weak.
THIRD ATTEMPT- CR- ONE WRONG, SC 10 WRONG, RC ALL CORRECT.
SO WHEN I AM DOING WELL IN ONE SUB PART, I AM MESSING UP IN THE OTHER.
QUANT- 13 questions wrong. 06 OUT OF THE FIRST 10 WRONG-MOST OF THEM WERE EASY/MED difficulty. I seem to get all hard/ hard-med questions right and all easy questions wrong. On review, i realised that only 03 questions i didnt know how to solve, another 04 i had some doubt and solved them in under 3 mins each. But 06-07 questions on reading again, i solved in under 30 secs.
Have an exam scheduled on 28 Jan 21. Plan to do lots of mock tests till then. One almost everyday.
Where am i going wrong
reading too fast, skipping minor details, careless mistakes.
Please help
Thanks in advance

650 (Q36,V43)
That's a particularly high Verbal score to get with 10 SC incorrect. Was there a typo?
Perhaps the Q and V scores in your list are back to front?
