Suggestion: - get GMAT Timer
My personal strategy was to spend 45-60 seconds on SC's (read question once, identify the problem, phrase it in my mind, and find the correct answer that matched the one I made up). Usually I could hit these in that time slot and in 20% of cases needed as much as a minute and a half. I would spend 1:30 on each CR question. I could crack half of them in 45-60 seconds but the other half took closer to 2 minutes, so it was averaging about 1:30. All of this was building up towards the section I had the most problems with - reading comprehension. I knew that I needed 60 x 15 for SC's, 1:30 x 14 for CR's and that left 39 minutes for RC, which meant I could spend 9 minutes per passage. I would read the passage very carefully and spend probably 5-6 minutes doing and not feeling rushed as I knew I could read any passage in that period of time. After finishing the text, I knew I had 1 minute for each question so I did not need to rush either. On the Verbal, I did not really keep track of the clock when moving from question to question, but I would note the time when I start the RC passage and made sure I did not go over the allotted time by the end.

Thanks dude, But I need a plan to overcome the weak verbal section, if you may suggest me some plan from your earlier interaction with other student it will be great.
