Question Pack 1 - Query in relation to RC

Hi kj1993,

From what you describe, I assume that you're attempting to 'mimic' what you will experience in the Verbal section on Test Day. Unfortunately, doing random groups of practice questions won't properly mirror Test Day for a few reasons. First, a set of random questions won't adapt to your performance. Second, the specific question types won't necessary be in the same 'ratios' that you'll face on Test Day. Third, taking an individual 'section' (outside of the context of taking the full Exam under test-like conditions) is not a proper parallel to what the full Test Day 'event' actually entails. To properly train to face the full GMAT, you have to take FULL CATs under realistic, test-like conditions (re: taking the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.).

Before I can offer you any additional advice, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
