What about if you get the first 20 right in Verbal (taking an extraordinary amount of time) and then guess the last 21 (also curious about first 25 right guess last 16).

I guess, with verbal being my weakness, I would be curious to know if anyone posted similar results (percentile ranking at least) by getting the first 20-25 verbal right, but then just guessed C or something for the remainder. V in the 40s would be insane!

In a nutshell, not gonna happen + would advice against using this strategy for obvious reasons.

P.S: You say your verbal is weak. Getting first 25 right (even in an extraordinary amount of time) will be an achievement.

Yeah i figured, but I was just curious.

Q floats between 47 and 51, but my Verbal goes between about 32-39 (although I did have one 22 after i didn't study for a couple of weeks).

*sigh*

Guys one very good observation...

funda to get 51 on GMAT (atleast tested on GMATPREP) never to get two continuous questions wrong...even with 5-6 overall wrong one can get a score of 51. Same number of mistakes and at same time with only 1 continuous set wrong will lead to 50


This is very helpful. I will try to implement it.

This is an old but fun topic. We have a few more recent ones… so how are you planning not to make 2 mistakes in a row? What’s the strategy? 😇
