Hi
PierreWU,
GMAT Prep mocks are the closest there is to actual test. Coming to your preparation, ideally you shouldn’t start taking mocks until you have completed all the learning. Mock tests are not designed to teach. They only expose your strengths and weaknesses.
OG is a good source for practice but it is not enough by itself. You must complement it with some source which will help you strengthen your concepts and process in the section that you are weak; verbal in your case.
• Chintan gave too many mocks in his first attempt and ended up getting only a 630. In his second attempt, he realized his mistake, followed a methodical approach, got his fundamentals strong and improved to a 710. Click here to read his de-brief.
• Murali (740) started his GMAT journey only by practicing questions from OG. Soon realized that it requires a methodical approach to ace GMAT. Click here to read his amazing debrief.
Average time of 1 min 35 seconds in RC is not bad and you should not consider that a parameter to think RC is your weak section. And the same is true for SC as well. While reference time is a good measure to know it is not possible for every student to stick to it and still maintain high accuracy. We recommend that you focus on getting more questions correct in the beginning than focusing on time alone. I think you will find this article on
Timing Strategies to be useful in understanding how to manage time efficiently in GMAT.
Hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out to us at
