Hello,
I took a timed test. After completing the test, I wanted to rework the answers that either consumed more than 120 seconds or my answer was incorrect. Although I did not remember the question, I noticed my approach in the test and the rework was different. In most occasions, both the answers crossed 120 seconds. I find it strange why the mind operated differently.
Has anyone noticed had a similar experience? I am concerned this is unsafe in the exam. Have you overcome this stage of your learning?
Regards,
Rajesh

Dear Rajesh,
I'm happy to respond.
First of all, here's a blog about thinking about long math problems a bit differently:

Also, here's a blog stressing the importance of doing essentially 100% of practice against a strict time-limit:

Finally, a great deal of the difference may be due to stress. When we feel a great deal of stress, that shuts down the mind's capacity for creativity and intuition, which are precisely the skills you need on the hardest GMAT questions. Here are a few articles that address how to handle stress.

I hope all this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
