Dear all,
I'm an Indian non native speaker and finding it very difficult to high level questions. More over my scores just coming around 500- 530 Q 30-35 and v 20-25.
Difficulties faced while taking practice tests are
1. out of the questions I'm getting wrong is due to careless mistakes or some number choices in substitution.
2. In data sufficiency most times not testing all the options which is meant to be. Always testing few conditions and concluding it wrong.
My biggest problem is verbal at-least I'm bit okay in Quant. At least I know where to even focus.
In my verbal, first thing I'm not a good reader. Before getting the point what the argument is about i may require to read it 2 or 3 times that eats my time a lot. Talk less of my R.C, frustrating to even read such a passages most times. My scratch work is worst, I was even thinking to write down the comprehension in a generic language but didn't get it right. help me to give some advice how to improve and where should i focus and how to manage my study time. Most of my wrong answers im my S.c and C.R are like I eliminate 3 choices correctly and ended up with the wrong one. I have only 2 months time to take my official GMAT. Will this time will be okay for my level to get a very good score. Or is it waste of time for a person like me to spend time on dreaming to get a good score in GMAT pls advice.
