Folks,
I need some advice on improving my timing/ speed in the verbal section. Invariably, I come down to 15 questions, 15 mins and then I end up getting atleast 10 wrong in the last 15 questions. Asa result, my verbal score drops significantly. I feel that correcting this is critical to securing a 700+ score. I currently take the following time on an average:
SC - 1.5 mins/ q
CR - 2.5 mins/ q
RC - 3 mins/ q
Obviously I crack the simple SCs and CRs in less than 1 and 2 mins respectively.
One of the strategies, I am considering is to leave the 4th RC, yes - I mean randomly mark all 3-4 questions of the 4th RC. This will unlock valuable 10 mins that I can use for the SCs and CRs. Has anyone tried this? Please share your experiences and thoughts. Thanks!

Well, I believe the random guessing in last RC will not help you much. What if you follow the attached timing schedule? This has worked for many. I am also following this one & it has enabled me to complete verbal in time.

Hmm...interesting. Any particular reason why my random guessing strategy for the 4th RC will not work? Don't u think it makes more sense for me to guess my 4th RC which is usually in the last 20 questions, than start guessing a few from the beginning as I near time?
