What are some of the common question types that are really time consuming ? For instance a lot of ppl say boldface questions in CR is difficult , probability and combinatorics questions are difficult.
Do you guys follow a strategy of giving up immediately on time consuming questions ?
Posted from GMAT ToolKitHello,
Difficulty of question is really a subjective matter, some area you may find easy could be very difficult for someone else.
However, never discard a question on the basis of type of Question, because you are not aware that whether the question thrown at you is really difficult or not.
For example - in case of probability of combinations, suppose you get the 1st question of your quant from any of these areas, the question might be too simple just testing your basics for the same area. If you have developed a notion that you do not wanna try questions from the per-determined area, you may loose on easy questions as well.
Ideal strategy
1) Determine your strengths and weakness firts (topic wise / area wise), take help of
error log for the same
2) For your weaknesses, use first 20/30 seconds (for CR and quant) to determine whether you would really like to give more time to try the question or not, if you think you can crack it with time, give time else make intelligent guess and move on.
3) You can prepare list of general strategies to be used for intelligent guessing (believe me it works)
Good Luck
