Hi Kaczet,

If you really had 15 minutes for the last 3 questions - and you regularly have that type of 'excess time' at the end of the section when you take your CATs - then your immediate issues are that you are moving too fast and not taking the proper notes. THOSE issues are keeping you from scoring higher (and as an aside, trying to do work 'in your head' is the WORST way to approach a GMAT question, so you should never approach a question in that way).

Here's a simple way to measure whether you're taking the proper notes or not: if you handed your work pad to another person, would that person understand all of the information that you were given in the prompt, the question that you were trying to answer and the 'steps' that you had worked through? If the answer to any of those questions is 'no', then you have NOT taken enough notes. After reviewing all of these questions, if you can honestly say that you have the ability to answer most of them correctly - then your "process" is the issue. What WORK (on the pad) are you willing to do to make sure that you get those points? Most of the questions on the GMAT are actually fairly straight-forward: you have to organize some information, think about everything you've been given, work through a few 'steps' and confirm that you are actually answering the question that is ASKED. You likely have the intelligence and ability to score far higher than you currently are scoring - and I'm almost certain that you're not doing enough physical work right now to EARN those points.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
