Guys thank you both for your quick responses. One last question. Any tips on how to improve speed? Should I keep on trying to solve as many questions as possible by keeping my time below 2 min per questions, or is there any other technique you would recommend?

Thanks!!!

Like the above posters said, it seems like its the harder questions that slowed you down. Maybe gather up some 700+ level questions from this site, work through them on your own and see how long it takes you and just analyze what part of the question is taking you so long (calculations, setting up the problem, understanding the problem, etc.). And then look at how other people are answering the questions and there might be some shortcuts your missing when it comes to answer these harder questions.

Most GMAT questions can be solved in 1-2 minutes if your fundamentals are clear. If you are taking too much time on certain questions, its probably because you are not using the most optimum approach. How do you get to know 'the most optimum approach'? Put the question up on this forum. There are very few (if any) approaches that people here might miss.
