Hi Markhu106,
For general timing strategy, I would suggest to check out this article:
Time Management Strategies on GMAT Focus.
Not sure what materials you have been using, but imo you need to learn effective strategies for different question types and practice applying them consistently in order to make improvement in Verbal and DI.
Some materials/resources that people usually recommend:
Verbal:
Manhattan Prep verbal guides or PowerScore Bibles. GMAT Ninja Youtube videos on RC and CR.
DI: Again, GMAT Ninja Youtube playlist.
Manhattan Prep also has a book - GMAT All the Quant + DI, in which there is one chapter for each of the DI question types that teaches the strategies.

Hi All,
I would appreciate suggestions on how to improve my score.
To give you a background-
I have been self-preparing for GMAT Focus from past two months. I have significantly improved my accuracy through extensive practice.
I am extremely good in QUANT. In my last few practice tests, I have scored 90/90 marks in Quant.
I am also able to solve all Verbal and DI questions, but I am not able to complete these two sections on time. I am leaving around 7 out of 20 DI questions and 10 out of 23 Verbal questions. Although I am getting almost all the questions that I have attempted in these two sections correct but I am randomly guessing quite a lot of questions towards the end . Because of this, I am getting somewhere between 70-80 score in these two sections.
This timing issue is seriously impacting my overall score. I have been practising a lot but have been unable to resolve the above issue. Performance has been quite stagnant from past 3 weeks.
Please suggest on what shall I do to improve myself? Is there any strategy that I can adopt or any course/material that can help in my case?
