Hi All,
Please advice.
Its a long time for GMAT. But I have never studied in a strech. But one month ago I restarted by preperation and was attempting to take the GMAT by sepetmber. But I think I have to re-think.
My Q is now 48+(Gmat Prep), 44 av (MGMAT) .But V ( 35 - untimed ) in MGMAT and V(30+) in GmatPrep.
I am aiming 40+ in Verbal. Something with can bring my score to sure 700+. So I have decided to take GMAT in NOV 08.
Guys, the main issue with VERBAL is my timing.
SC: Not very bad. But in some Q's I can't find the grammar rule to apply ! Then it shoots my time about 2 mins + in a Q. But I think this more to do with practice may be. I have completed about 400 Qs in 1000 SC. Mebbe I need to complete the set.
CR: I have gone through CR bible for GMAT.( Upto Assumption part properly, but did not much time for the rest so just parsed it ). It helped me. But the problem is to grasp the intent of RC it takes most of the time 2 mins approx. How can I improve on this ?
To read the Stem properly ( 2ice sometimes ) about just less than 1 min. Then to go answer choises and parsing each of them , finding the correct one and eliminating the wrong....etc - 1 min. It seems sometimes I have to read the choices 2ice/3rice to get the
correct answer.
How do you suggest to improve. I think I can get the difficult CRs also correct but it the time which is killing. I have purchased 10 lsat PrepTests to study , but I have not completed the whole book. Abt 8 are still remaining. How to proceed , how do you suggest the time management ?
RC: A real pain. I have tried many methods but boiled to one. Reading the whole passage ! I don't feel confident when I try reading just the first line of Para etc. So end up spending 4-5 mins reading the para and then appx. 1 min / Q ( some thimes more ). So typically
Short Para with 4 Qs = 4-5 mins (reading ) + 5 mins Qs = 9-10 mins total.
Long Para with 5 Qs = 6-7 mins ( reading) + 5 mins Qs = 11-12 mins total.
There is another big problem with RC. Some difficult pasages I don't really grasp what author is trying to say really? And when I get stuck and try to move on , I am sure of geeting of all the Qs wrong. The KEY is to understand the pasage well !
How to improve my time management please ....advice.
