Hey guys,
My GMAT is only a few days away and I have a few queries regarding it. My Verbal score is fine - about 40 to 43 and I'm relatively pleased with that. However my main sticking point is my quant.
I have focussed about 90%+ of my time on quant, but I still can't seem to improve my timing. I think one of my flaws is that I am a bit of a "perfectionist" and I can't seem to be able to"guess" questions. To illustrate: over the last 1 week I have received these test scores:
Veritas CAT's: Q43, Q47 (missing out last 2 questions on each)
GMAT Prep Exam 1: Q37 (Finished all, but really rushed during last 8 questions)
GMAT Prep Exam 2: Q47 (Taken during the same day as Exam 1!)
GMAT Club tests: (Multiple) Ranging from Q39 to Q47 (timed)
My Quant score is all over the place and I'm worried I'm going to get a Q37 as opposed to a Q47 as I don't think I have a strategy in place and optimising my time. I can work out most questions if time isn't an issue, but some just take me a while to set up and then solve.
I've heard that some people just guess some questions that they think might be a bit too time-intensive - is this a viable strategy? What if I guess the "easy" ones wrong and my score then takes a larger hit? How many questions could I get wrong (roughly) and still get Q46+. Basically is there a "guessing" strategy out there?

I dont think it is advisable to guess questions randomly in order to save time...you should guess questions which you feel are tough for your level and you might not be able to solve within 2-3 minutes....or if you see a question from your weakest area and you know that you may not be able to solve it then it makes sense to guess....

Hi phferr1984,
Since it's been a little over a month since you posted, I'm curious about how Test Day went? How did you score in the Quant section (and overall)? Were you able to handle the Quant section as planned or did you end up having to guess on some questions?
