I just took a M GMAT test and got a 680. I got a 37 V. I missed 2 CR 5 SC ( but 2 from timing on last 2 questions) and 5 RC questions ( all 700-800 lvl though). Most of the ones i missed were inference questions. Any suggestions on how to improve on these types of questions? Thanks
Also is the MGMAT Verbal about the same as the Gmat? Or is it harder? Thanks

Hi there,
There are some tips on how you save your time and concentrate in exam, here are those
Tip 1 : The test starts with a 30mins of essay – Analysis of an argument, and the Integrated Reasoning. This is the part which does not contribute to your overall score (out of 800). My advice is not to be focused more on Integrated Reasoning section, but rather to aim for reasonable score on this section. This can be easily prepared for, save your concentration for the Verbal and Quantitative sections.
Tip 2 : An important method is to concentrate on the number of questions in all sections. Suppose you have short span of time and have only 5mins left with 5 to 10 questions left to answer that, I would strongly advice guessing, rather than concentrating on possibly correct solving one or two questions.
Tip 3 : Between your tests, never try to calculate your score. The test is adaptive, but the fact that you have simple problem in front of you doesn’t mean you’re doing very badly. A problem may seem easy to you, but the machine may consider it is a hard one and increase your score. Keep your inputs till end of the test.
Tip 4: If you’re done with a particular section before time in your mocks, improve your pacing. It does not pay to keep finishing a section before the time allotted, if you’re making costly mistakes to achieve that. Pacing is a very important part of the overall strategy.
Best of Luck!
Cheers!

First of all the MGMAT exams are designed to approximate your GMAT score, but there is a lot of variability (+/- 50 points). The biggest value in the MGMAT exams it to determine your weak points and improve on those. As you get closer to test day, take a GMATPrep exam as your best approximation of your GMAT score. It looks like you need to tighten up your timing and I would recommend you spend time on SC as well.
For inference questions, you really need to get into the OG and practice some. Remember that inference questions don't require a big logical leap. The correct answer will be something that has to be true based on the information in the passage but not directly stated in the passage [I hope that makes sense
