Hi everyone,
Hope you are doing really well!
I am taking the GMAT Target Test Prep course - focused on Verbal part - currently finishing the CR module.
I noticed that in general I am taking more to answer the questions from the chapter tests vs. average of other people who answered those questions (this is a stat included by the course).
In general, I average about 3 min per question (more on Hard ones and less on Easy ones), whereas other people tend to average 2 min or less.
The course tells you to practice untimed, nonetheless, this still concerns me because it's a ~50% difference in timing vs. the time I have on the actual exam.
My accuracy levels seem to be fine (>90% on Easy questions; >80-90% on Medium questions; >60-70% on Hard questions), however, I think I won't have that level of accuracy if I reduce timing and I don't really know how to train my self in order to do so.
I tend to average 1.5-2 min to read and understand well the CR stimulus and 1-1.5 min to evaluate answer choices.
Would appreciate if you can give me some advice on how to reduce these timings without reducing accuracy levels.
Thank you very much in advance!
Cheers

For CR assumption questions, the negation technique could be useful to learn. If you feel your fundamentals are solid, consider working on your solving approach. Perhaps include doing a few sessions with a study buddy who is really strong on CR to see how someone else goes through questions (especially those you may take longer than you like on). There's a study buddy thread on gmatclub you could check out/sign up to.

Hi fmmrnv,
Nonofficial material can be useful, but it's more important to check whether you see the same pattern on official GMAT questions. If you do, this may be something you need to work on.
