Hello Sahar,
Thanks for your help, you are genius. I tried to give it a go according to what you told me. I could solve most questions in around a minute! That's crazy! I have heard people doing it before but I was not confident enough to apply on it previously. Thanks so much for your help. Just for my reference, what did you do in your GMAT Verbal?
Cheers! Gordon

Gordon, the way to avoid trouble with an initial split is to eliminate only those answers that you know are wrong. Don't say "Well, I like the sound of this better than that, so I'll make the cut." For instance, perhaps you like "developed a tendency" better than "developed the reindeer's tendency," but can you be sure that that's enough to make B-E wrong? Not at all.
Start with splits that have a clear right answer (subject-verb or pronoun agreement, for instance), and save "I like this better" or "That sounds awkward" for when you are out of any better criteria for making your choice.
I often compare this process to shopping for a car. There's no right answer there, of course, but there can be better and worse places to start. If I say, "Hmm, I've never had an orange car before. I'll try that," I will immediately reduce my options substantially. But is color really what's most important to me? I might cut out some of my best options! Start with what's most important (I want a car with a working engine!) and then get to the more trivial decisions.
