Even I use chatgpt for doubts
Just a clarification
ChatGPT should be used but you should know where it's going wrong... question chatgpt with what you think is right and it thinks wrong.
Also note how chatgpt breaks the argument and learn if you are doing it wrong or whether u missed something and it catched...

Make it a study buddy but not the one who is always right 😁

Especially the free version of ChatGPT is really bad with anything about 45% C.R.

The paid version probably goes up to 65 or 75% depending on the model you use. One tip for you to copy an explanation from an expert and copy the answer and the question and ask it to explain it to you. You can perhaps handle that part once you’ve provided it with an answer and an explanation😂

One of the challenges I am facing which made me postpone my exam was - I am not able to complete the verbal session. I am able to do only 16/18 in a span of 45 mins. WHat I have noticed is - its taking me 2.5 mins in a CR question to understand & mark the option. In RC I keep reading and re-reading the passage and I know the strategy is to structure and make a mentol map but I am unable to do so - hence I tend to take a bit long

What should I do?

If both CR and RC are taking a long time, there are really not many options except that you have to speed up, esp on the CR (that’s easier and faster to do). One rule that you should have is that you only read the CR once for most situations/questions. Train yourself to read the CR once.

Second way to speed up your CR is to answer the question in your own words first. This will save you a lot of time on about 50% of the questions (not 100%) but saving 1 minute on half of the CR’s is quite a bit of time.

Third would be RC’s - you MAY NOT re-read the passage. Do not re-read the passage. You read it one time and ONLY if you are looking for very specific details do you go back. Re-reading the passage should be banned and not allowed.

So do these 3 things when you practice next time for the next few days:
1. Try to Force yourself to read the CR only once and not-reread it in at least 50% of the situations (sometimes you have to re-read it)
2. Answer the CR in your own words first (biggest time gain)
3. Read the RC only once in 100% of the situations (with exceptions of specific detail questions which should be no more than 20% of the time and only a small section that you are double-checking, not re-reading)

I used to have similar issue earlier
Now I maintain my mentality and composer during test so that anxiety (predicting ques difficulty, fear of making mistake, time running out so reading btw lines) don't creep in. I give myself a mental break and pause for a moment and take one question at a time.

Eventually these type of mistakes became negligible now
Try meditation and maintaining composer of mentality, it may help

Yes thank you so much :)
These might be the reasons for me as well
Will try to be more composed.

I also experiencd the same situation during my preparation time.

After thinking about it a lot, I realized that while attempting the questions in test, I always thought about completing the section in time and therefore my focus was also on the next question which has not yet come. Further, I also used to think about whether I did the last question correctly or not.

These two things used to make me do silly mistakes
Yes thanks for insights :)
I also try to keep in mind that 1 question at a time
