loosing battle to SC

As long as only the last few SC questions OG 12 give you trouble, then you should probably be in okay shape. You still have approximately one month to study for SC, so that leaves plenty of time to improve. It's perfectly fine to acknowledge that there is a problem, but please don't hide from this challenge. Not only will this outlook impede progress on SC, but it might actually creep into other areas of the GMAT as well. Be honest with yourself, but stay positive. Try to gauge where exactly you start to struggle and work on that level until you're ready to advance to harder questions. Here is a decent directory.


I'm sorry, but is the "14 seconds" bit a typo? Although I don't fully understand this part yet, I can speculate about what you meant. Obviously ten questions in 14 seconds is impossible, so let's ignore this possibility. If you took 14 seconds per question, then you're answering them way too quickly. Perhaps you meant 14 minutes for all ten questions. That's still quite fast, given that these ten questions are ranked as the most difficult. Give yourself more time to fully absorb the question and think things out. It's okay to take (slightly) more time on some of the hard questions.
