bmw, that brings up a good point,
is it better to give your all and spend 4 minutes on a hard Q to get it right , even if you are behind and time, and guess the last 5, or speed through the middle 10 to catch up on time.
Good question Terp26. I have asked the same question. I find that if you're not going to get an answer in 2 to 2.5 minutes, it's best to make an educated guess of what you think the answer might be (e.g. greater than 1, so you eliminated everything less than 1 and guess) and move one. It's best to have a fair shot at each question and complete the test in the 75 mins or less. If you randomly guess at the last five questions, then they may have been questions you know how to do quickly, but never had the chance.
Tarek: You know you can do this. You just have to learn from your mistakes (i.e. timing) and improve. After doing a lot of GMAT questions, you'll notice a lot of similarities in the types of questions. This will help you to increase your speed. As Walker said, re-read the question before you confirm your answer, incase of a missed red flag.
Best of luck studying.
