I use the same chart for both quant and verbal. However, for verbal, I am a bit flexible as RCs/CRs are usually time consuming for me, so I know I can make up the lost time in SCs.

Overall, I improved 70 points ......but I think other factors may have contributed to the increase as well.

But having the grid definitely helped me as I was able to reference it from time to time. I didn't like looking at the clock too much, from past experiences, I found it to be very intimidating and distracting.

70 is a huge improvement. someone told me that i should spend the least time in the middle because that is where experimental questions will most likely show up. what do you think?

Trying to guess if the question is experienmental will not help.

For me, I treat each question equally. If I know the concept, then I know. If I don't, then I don't. If its taking too long, I make an educated guess and move on.

IMO, the most important questions are from Q1-15.

GMATPrep, I missed 13 questions in Quant but still got a 49, not sure how that happened.
