I have difficulty with hard SC questions and my accuracy on them is about 20 or 30 percent. These are questions that you must know exactly what the sentence is saying and I can't figure that out because of the hard vocabulary they use or complicated structures. On the other hand on 600-700 my accuracy is about 60 or 70 percent because on these questions you can approach most of them by rules such as parallelism and I had practiced those rules.
I have only 2 weeks until my exam and in two official prep I gave this week I got 640 and 660. In RC and CR my situation is better and if I'm not short on time I can answer them well enough. But in my preps due to time shortage, I lost some RC and CR in the end.
In this situation is it a good strategy to don't spend time on SC hard questions and take a guess on them to save that time on RC and CR?
and in these 2 weeks that I have is it good for me to concentrate on 600-700 questions so I can improve my accuracy on them?
In quant I am in 50 so I think for reaching +700 I need at least a 36 in verbal. Is it possible by this strategy?
Thank you for answering me

Hi Hamdakreza.
You can score V36 without getting the hard SC questions correct. So, your strategy is reasonable.
At the same time, in order to do so, you need to get a rather high percentage, around 80%, or possibly 90%, of medium SC questions and the vast majority of CR and RC question correct. So, to succeed with this strategy, you have to make sure that you're strong in those other question categories.
Meanwhile, by using the tips in the following post, you'll likely be able to speed up in GMAT verbal and answer more of the verbal questions.
