Sure yes. The result of cat1 was 50%, and of cat2 32%
I just had a quick look and see that in your CAT 2 you have two questions in which you've spent over 5 minutes and on another you've spent almost 4. This basically means that out of the 75 minutes, you've spent almost 15 minutes on 3 questions leaving you with 60 minutes for the rest 34 questions. That is a whopping 8 minutes short of the 2 minute per question average!
I would suggest that you should start thinking about guessing as soon as you are nearing the 3 minute mark. If you notice, you've got just 1 of those 3 questions correct. Return of nvestment of time seems to be low.
If you don't get it in 3 minutes there is a high probability that you won't get it in more time. You don't have to keep checking the clock. This sense of timing should come inuititvely with practise. Next time you take a mock test make it your mission to not go over 3:30 for as many questions as you can.
Guess and move on.I also see you've got many 600 level questions wrong. Have you gone through the
MGMAT guides? There is also a very good GMAT Club quant PDF booklet with very comprehensive notes for quant. I'd recommend that you download it if you haven't already and know it by heart. My signature has a link to my de brief, it also has some useful tips on resources and test strategies. I would say one thing to you - "Work on your basics" - Get hold of
MGMAT guides and go through them and make sure you don't move on till you grasp a topic. First basics, then questions!!
Also some of the questions on these tests will be insanely hard - don't worry! You are doing well, you just need to be in a position where you are doing as good as you can and looking at your cat results with timing bottlenecks I am sure there is room for improvement. Be more aware of your timing when you take mocks and go through quality content. You are bound to improve.
