Need Help: Not able to use my Verbal process in the exam environment.

Question

Hello guys,

I have been following the  GMATNinja  Process in my verbal reasoning section. However, when I do the process while practicing it works perfectly and I get all the answers right, but when I am in a practice test environment I am unable to use the process because of the time pressure. How do I tackle this? What should I do?

Unfortunately I have covered all my Official material and I running of out questions to do. Should I redo the same questions and practice my process or practice my process on question in the Gmat Club forum quiz?

GMATNinja  ,  I would really apprectiate your take on this.

Sincerely,
Kiran

Might be worth checking out the various official products out there. If, for example, you've run out of verbal questions from the Official-Guide 2023, consider checking out the Verbal Review 2023. You can get an e-version, too.

Hey, Practising with the time constraints should help. Few tools you can use for the timed practice are the Gmat club forum quiz and the oniline practice module/ quiz builder available with the official guide. If nothing else, then a stop watch should work as well.

All the best!

Start timing your attempts, even when you are practicing. This will help you develop the skill the solve the questions in a timely manner.

There are also LSAT questions you can attempt for practice, which are generally considered to be tougher than GMAT questions.

You're certainly not alone in hitting this wall -- many of our students run into similar problems when leaping from homework to the testing environment. The key is to realize that performance pressure is the thing that is holding you back. Having identified this as the issue, you can start to address it directly in your homework and practice tests.

But first: for additional verbal questions, we highly recommend that you use LSAT questions ( Here’s why. )  This book  would be a good choice, but any of the LSAT books with 10 full, official LSAT tests is OK. You could also buy an online subscription to the LSAT library  here . For info on how to interpret LSAT results, check out the verbal section of  this post .

Back to performance pressure: If you want to address any nerves head-on, check out  this article  and/or  this video  and see whether any of those ideas speak to you.

I hope that helps a bit, and good luck with everything!
