In my first Mock test I got 255, and after studied 2.5 months I got 435 in the second Mock test. How can I increase my score to 565 with in 25 days? my weakness is that I took time to read any passage both DI and RC since English is not my first language. My strength is Quant, Math actually but for word problem types I may get distract too.
Please give me tips and trick to do Gmat faster.

If english is the problem then it's better to fix that before resuming gmat prep.

I don’t think there is any choice other than grinding numbers.

I did not solve it, so you are probably right.
My advice was generic. Usually when I was stuck in a problem because I was trying to find a “better method “, I used to hesitate grinding and one of my mentors told that you should never do that...

I would suggest to solve some of the topics like algebra, coordinate, percentages, ratios kind of questions using just solve it approach and you can try strategic processes more in number inequality, artithmetic probability and pnc. This advice is just for PS based questions. DS i would still go with strategic approach only.

Trust your instincts. We must strategise for at most 30 seconds then it’s time to grind if you couldn’t find anything rather than wasting more time..

Using the sectional tests does not reduce the number of full-length mocks available to you. Also, questions you encounter in the sectional tests will not be repeated in the full-length mocks, and vice versa.
