Enhanced Score Report Analysis - What If Scenarios 2.0

Nice work. I see CR twice there. Last one should be RC. Right?

This is interesting work, but your inferences above are based on a fundamentally incorrect assumption about how the scoring works. Your Verbal score isn't calculated based on how many questions you get right, and it isn't calculated based on some combination of how many SC / CR / RC you get right, or how accurate you are on those three problem types. The three question types are identical, from a scoring perspective. All that matters is 'where you end' - the difficulty level the test is at when you finish the last question. If the effect you observed is due to anything, it's due to the relative quantity and position of each of those question types on the practice tests you took (i.e. there may have been more SC questions, or they may have coincidentally appeared in long 'runs' throughout the test.)

Suppose that by random (and very unlikely) chance, your test started with ten CR questions. Compare that to a test that ended with ten CR questions. Answering all of those questions incorrectly would have a wildly different effect on your score, depending on which hypothetical scenario you were in, and how you did through the rest of the test.

The best approach is to avoid being significantly weaker on any of the three areas - that'll keep the test from giving you too-easy questions in your stronger areas.

That sounds a lot like what had happen to me. I am weak in SC and on a real exam I started with 6 out 10 SC questions. Result - V25 vs V38 2 months before...

Has this worked for other folks? I have a few queries-

1. What if the 2nd/4th RC that you randomly marked answers for, gets you 4 incorrect answers and your overall difficulty level comes down drastically?
2. Can we apply this strategy even if we are not sure that the 2 RC's in which we are attempting diligently will have all correct?
3. When you say guess answers, do you mean random guess or an educated guess?
4. How should one react when he sees the 2nd/4th RC which he plans to skip is from a topic which he likes?
5. Should this strategy be applied if the 2nd and 4th RC appear in the last 10 questions of the verbal section?
6. Would you recommend for the 2nd and 4th passage, one should atleast attempt the main point question by reading the first and line last lines of each paragraph.

I am struggling with RC(both in terms of strategy and timing), so would be glad if any assistance is provided.

How can I acces to the ESR for pratice tests?

I bought the Pack for 3 and 4 practice test and I was supposed to see the ESR for my first two practice test. But I cant see any option where I could visualize the ESR´s.

Thanks
