I took the OG 13 Diagnostic verbal alone. Was surprised that first 3-4 passages were full of RC's and by the time I finished answering 2nd passage questions, I really got exhaused. And was shocked that there wer some 20 more tough CR questions ahead.
I really dint have the energy to read such huge passages of CR after finishing RC and to attend first 21, it took me 45 mins and I dint have any more energy to proceed.
Could any expert tell me some strategy of how to handle Verbal section. Especially when you get such huge passages in beginning. I finished MGMAT RC's CR and to my surprise this was the first test i took and I couldnt even withstand beyond 45 mins ( Leaving the success rates of ans's apart)..
1. What should i really do to improve my speed and energy level to understand the passage in such a short time frame.?
2. Will the real GMAT also have some 15-20 qns in RC in the beginning and some 30 odd CR questions??

Mostly one get 4 RCs (3 short and 1 long) on the GMAT exam. The short RC has three questions, while the long RC has four questions. Typically, one should spend around 6-6.5 minutes on the short passage and around 8 minutes on the long passage.
Also, in general, you may not see GMAT throwing you back to back RCs on the exam. However, GMAT being an adaptive test can throw you back to back passages too.
The best way to work on Verbal is to practice extensively with the Official Guide.
Hope it helps!
