RC marking scheme

Hi avadhesh,

With RC prompts, each question is scored individually (so you don't have to answer every RC question correctly to pick up points in the Verbal section). In Integrated Reasoning, there is NO 'partial credit' though, so if a prompt has 2-3 questions on the same page, then you have to correctly answer ALL of them to get the points.

It sounds like you're just beginning your studies. Is that true? Have you done any studying so far?

If you're just beginning, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a bit of practice first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the general content and question types first, then that's fine - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
