Thank you for taking the time to share feedback.

I think we’ll have another one or two sessions but then I want to re evaluate. 1. Harsh going to start his MBA in a month. I still cannot believe he is giving up his very prestigious GMAT Moderator role (that role is going to Bhanu by the way).
2. We’re planning to launch an interactive study plan next week which of course also will be free 😂 but I’m hoping it will help people stick to their target quite a bit more and better. Let me share a screenshot, and we can go through it in more detail on the next weeks call.

Thank you looking forward for this study plan

I need advice from the experienced ones on MSR & table qs, the two I dread the most. They are the ones where I have least accuracy & most time. I have felt confident on other DI types over the course of time but these aren't improving @hr1212 @bb

Question for you, why do you dread them? What specifically asking is causing you to dislike them besides low accuracy? Low accuracy is the result of the dread and an issue that causes low accuracy so what does cause it?

I have never improved on timing on them since very beginning of my prep, and just takes too long to get through, even in DI sectionals, they are the ones pulling my DI score down. Especially MSR I just find it not comprehending the question blob thoroughly sometimes which often leads to inaccuracy which is fueled by time pressure, other times just time time limitation lowering accuracy. For tables, pretty much time pressure more so than grasping the question

All of which have led me to dread them unfortunately

P.S. I am referring to medium to hard difficulty qs

So it is important to be methodical with every question and every mistake especially for MSR. They’re only about 150 or 200 of these questions in the world so you want to treat each one in a very special way and you want to deconstruct each one of them and also see how to solve it faster.

With MSR you have two goals not only to solve it correctly but also to solve it fast. Solving the question alone is only half the job

My recommendation will be go back to every question that you were not confident with in creator document or an Excel sheet where you paste the screenshot of the question and you have a cell for the catch, the key information, the mistake if you made one and the reason you made that mistake.

After doing 30 questions, 10 passages you’ll start noticing patterns and you’ll start anticipating traps in the future so really your goal is to teach your brain for potential traps and issues that may come up.

This way, when you read in the future you’re sort of playing a game against the GMAT where it’s like a thief or a swindler who’s trying to trick you and it’s your goal not to get tricked like a game. If you could approach it like a game and make it more entertaining and perhaps you have a reward for yourself for a punishment and you can get out of dreading them it would be really good

Is official mock1 supposed to feel that relatively easier/short worded questions appeared even for higher difficulty level qs as opposed to what i've experienced in gmatclub. For example none Q's from boldface in CR which from my experience tend to be wordy. Similar observation in quant section.

Moreover the score report of official mock doesn't state the difficult level of question, any way to guage that besides checking it on gmatclub?

It’s relatively easy. Not sure about the length though. Maybe no boldface was a coincidence.

Official quants are way easier than Gmatclub quant tests.

GMAC doesn’t do that you just have to find the difficulty through Gmatclub.
