Looking at some ESRs, I see that the typical test-taker who spends about 1:30 on each SC question averages under 2:00 per CR and RC question. So, for most test-takers, the 1:58 per question allotted by the GMAT Focus Edition Verbal section should be about right.
Hi MartyTargetTestPrep,
It's possible that you didn't understand the point I was trying to make.
1. As a tutor, I work closely with individuals, not big groups of students, and, as I mentioned in my first post,
some test takers struggle with RC. It is those individuals I am thinking about, not test takers in general.
2. An ESR can't tell us how much time a test taker needs. It can only give us a limited view into one possible time/score combination for that test taker.
Just to be clear, I really do hope that those some ESRs you looked at of typical test takers who spend about 1:30 on each SC question are representative of the experience of most test takers.
