Hello mohit11,
What do you mean by "The MGMAT analysis throws out random results"? There are many different raw score combinations that can result in the same overall score (i.e. I have a 48/38 and a 710, and I have seen many people iwth a 49/39 and a 710).
Also remember, strike rate on its own is worthless. Your score depends on strike rate AND the difficulty of the problem. Getting an easy problem incorrect will impede your ability to score a 700 more than getting a harder problem incorrect.
Have you gone through and read debriefs to figure out what has worked for others? This should help you establish some sort of game plan to overcome these shortcomings.
Best of luck,
mohater

Hi Mohater,
Many thanks for replying, I do go through the debriefs and have learned a few tricks from them. I've taken two Manhattan Tests so far, and my Verbal score is pretty consistent with and so are my mistakes.
For the Verbal part,
I. When i am practicing SC offline (timed) i tend to get approximately 80 percent of SC correct. However, on verbal tests, i tend to get easy SC questions right, however, my strike rate drops considerably in 700- 800 level questions. and when i go back to some of these questions i feel i could have got the question right, but then its too late.
I've gone through Manhattan SC bible, I've done Kaplan 800, I have made notes, i have noted down errors i tend to make in SC. I have practiced a lot. Perhaps all i can do is continue to practice and eventually get better.
2. For RC, i am pretty good at RC, for MGMAT tests, i ended up rushing through the last RC and thats why i got those RC's wrong. But i am still comfortable with RC questions.
3. For CR, I initially went through Manhattan CR book, had a hit rate of 85 percent on OG10 CR questions. However, MGMAT's CR stumped me, i realized that perhaps there is some gap in my logical reasoning, and i have started reviewing Power Score CR bible, having gone through the initial chapter i do realize that i was committing some logical errors and perhaps i can get better at them. After completing the PR CR bible i plan to do questions in OG12.
Another problem is that on most of the SC and CR questions, i am never sure if my answer is 100 percent right or not.
