Hi there,
Today I did a new practice test on GMAT prep and I got 650 (Q50, V28)
Surprisingly, number of my wrong answers in verbal is again 15. However, I realized that I did less mistakes towards the end of the section, a majority of my wrong answers are between 16-30 th questions. So, I think the first 15 and last 10 questions are very very very important for calculating our verbal score....
Hi
ys933,
Yeah so you get that right. First nail all the questions thrown at you because they are of Medium level questions. With that you direct the algorithm to fetch you higher level questions. Which also means you raised the bar for yourself.
Now is the time to stay with your set trategy that is avoid 3 consecutive wrongs, skip a question when you're sure the earlier one you got damn right and focus on the next question very well if you skipped a question earlier. Do not skip a question if that is from your strong area. so try to save time one the that very horrible question. So as you understood already, do this in between not in the start and not in the end.
Now Nail the last set of questions to best of your capability.
Also be ready to be bothered by consecutive RCs thrown at you to ruin your set game. The only way is to be flexible with your strategy when a situtation like this comes.
So if there are 3 RCs presented to you in first 15 questions then it is certainly okie to spend more time initially, but there is no way to have bad accuracy in such a case as you need be able to raise the bar for yourself else you wont see higher difficulty level questions.
Try all possibilities in Mocks. But always stick to play hard in the start and in the end and just maintain the game in between
