Hello. I am not able to solve all the verbal questions in given time so I read on one of the posts, that you can skip the 3rd passage. But by following this strategy, my score is not going beyond 77 - 78 (i.e. 35 to 38th percentile). Other than 1 passage I am making 3 to 4 mistakes on overall test. Does marking 3 questions wrong consecutively hamper your score a lot? How many questions can you mark incorrect at the most to reach atleast V80? And same is the case with DI. I am planning to skip MSR questions coz those are time consuming, but again 3 questions wrong in a row. Coz MSR quests are always asked back to back.
tbh we can’t generalize a particular number of qns to get incorrect to score v80 cuz it varies when it comes to difficulty level. I’d really recommend you improve on timing and try to get to 1.5 mins per RC qn (ofc reading the passage will prolly take like 2-3mins but eventually after solving the qnsit averages) and 2mins per CR qn.
Trust me, even I struggled like anything with timing on Verbal. Like i knew the concepts but was always held back bcoz of timing. I really recommend you practice with time constraints after you’re done learning all the concepts.
For the first read of the passage, try to skim through and get an overall idea of the passage and overall idea of each paragraph and why its there and don’t bother with knowing all the particular details. When you’re tackling the qns, you’ll know where the details are and which portion so refer back to it when answering qns.
