Hi, all.
I’m really struggling with time management issues on both Quant and Verbal, and this fact is really killing my scores.
In my last two MGMAT mocks (which were unnecessarily complex, computational, and at times, non-GMAT like) I’ve really struggled with finishing both the sections. In Quant, my time almost ran up by 20th question, and in Verbal, by 24th question. So I rushed through the remaining questions for either section. I know this is absolutely disastrous, and I need to change this abysmal timing issue.
Experts, how do I get better at completing Quant and Verbal sections without rushing through dozens of questions at the end? How do I work on this timing fiasco? Is there a particular method to fix timing problem that I don’t know? Please help.
Regards.

Regarding your timing issues, honestly, the best way to improve your timing is by improving your GMAT quant skills. As you develop mastery of each individual quant topic, better timing WILL follow. In fact, a great way to know how well you have mastered a particular topic is to be cognizant of your reaction time when seeing a particular question. For example, consider the following simple question with which many students who are beginning their prep struggle:
14! is equal to which of the following?
(A) 87,178,291,200
(B) 88,180,293,207
(C) 89,181,294,209
(D) 90,000,000,003
(E) 91,114,114,114
Upon seeing this question, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Trying to add up the values in the expression? If you are able to quickly recognize that using the “5 x 2 pair rule” will allow you to attack the problem quickly and efficiently (see the solution below).
Solution:
14! = 14 × 13 × 12 × 11 × 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1.
Notice that there is at least one (5 × 2) pair contained in the product of these numbers. It follows that the units digit must be a zero. The only number with zero as the units digit is 87,178,291,200.
Answer: A
Although this is just one example of many, you see that you must have many tools in your toolbox to efficiently attack each GMAT quant question that comes your way. As you gain these skills, you will get faster.

Hi Louis,
Struggling with time is just a symptom. The actual problem lies somewhere else. You need to identify what's holding you back and work on that. Let me elaborate it to you.
The most common reason why students struggle with time management is because they do not approach the questions in the right way. There might be many ways to approach a question but there's only one way to approach it in the best way. You need to know that approach because GMAT has a time constraint and the optimum time to solve a particular question is not more than 2 minutes.
What do I mean by the right approach?
To help you understand properly, I'll explain you the approach by using the example of solving a CR question.
| General strategy | Methodical approach |
| Read the argument | Read the argument and identify the premise and conclusion |
| Read the question stem | Read the question stem and start pre-thinking |
| Jump into statements and evaluate each option | Start eliminating answer choices which do not match the pre-thought assumption |
There right way to solve CR question is to identify the individual components of the argument that is premise and conclusion. Knowing the conclusion will help you understand the scope of the argument which in turn helps you eliminate the answer choices which are irrelevant or out of scope.
You can understand the right methodologies to solve SC and DS questions by going through the following recordings.
How to get used to the time constraint?
Learning this new methodology might seem little lethargic at the beginning but you have to be patient. Solving the questions using the right methodology might take a little more time during the initial stages but once you get used to it, time will automatically fall into place. Make sure not to time yourself while you learn the methodology. Once you feel confident about the methodology, you can start taking timed quizzes.
Having said that, it would be great if we can connect over a zoom conference call and discuss your approach. We can solve a few questions together, which will help me understand the flaw in your approach and suggest you the right one. if you wish to connect, you can schedule a free consultation call using the below link.

What would it mean, in terms of my Quant ability, if I told you that I solved the above question in 39 seconds?
