Hi Team,

I need help evaluating my attached GMAT score report.

Verbal has been particularly challenging for me—despite completing a large volume of 700-level CR and RC questions, my performance in the section was quite disappointing.

I would also like clarity on whether Verbal alone caused the overall setback, or if Quant and DI also require substantial improvement.
I'm feeling a bit lost at the moment, so it would be really helpful if we could schedule a call to discuss the results and identify a way forward.


Regards,

Raveen
Since timing seemed to be an issue, let's examine how to improve your time management.

Quant: When it comes to time management in the Quant section, it's important to know when to give up on a question. Remember, your goal is to strive for excellence, not perfection. Some additional tips include:
  • Don’t overinvest time on the first few questions
  • Don’t randomly guess on questions to catch up on time
  • Leave enough time to answer every question on GMAT Quant
  • Develop an internal clock to help with pacing

You can find additional tips here: Timing Strategies For a Higher GMAT Quant Score

Verbal: Here are some tips to help you get faster at answering GMAT Verbal questions:

  • Eliminate inefficiencies in how you handle questions
  • Read more carefully
  • Reduce note-taking
  • Avoid pre-thinking with critical reasoning questions
  • Don’t get bogged down in the details of reading comprehension passages

More here:

Data Insights: Also, while answering DI questions, here are some general time-saving strategies to keep in mind:
  • Skim the given information to understand the type of information provided. Don’t get bogged down in the details. Just get a sense of what the data is conveying.
  • Use the answer choices to your advantage. In many cases, the answer choices will be so spread apart that you can quickly answer the question through approximation rather than precise calculations.
  • Use process of elimination when possible. Narrow down choices by identifying clear inconsistencies or irrelevant options in the data.
  • Stay organized. Jot down quick notes or calculations to keep track of information to avoid rereading the same data multiple times.
  • Prioritize quick decision-making. If a question seems too time-consuming, it’s better to make an educated guess and move on rather than get stuck. Developing this type of decision-making mindset will help you better navigate the section.
