Hi All,
I have been doing RC's from GMAT VErbal Review and had a doubt. The no.of questions in some passages in the Verbal review are around 7-8.
When you have so many questions, how many qrong questions do you benchmark to get wrong. When i passages has 4 questions and if I get 2 or questions, I re-do the passage, but do you quantify when no. of questions are 7-8??
I think aiming 100% in RC will be pushing too hard on yourself. what should be the benchmark per passage, i.e. after how many questions should you re-do the passage??

Dear abhilashaa,
The first thing I will say, my friend, is that you made several mistakes in typing your question, which makes your question unclear. Do you want to be successful on the GMAT Verbal section and in the way you present yourself to business school? I would say the first step is: make absolutely everything you post in this forum of the highest possible quality. Every time you put your words out in the world, it's an opportunity for anyone else to see it and judge you for it. Why would you ever put out anything less than your best? What if someone reading this post today is another aspiring B-school student who 10 years from now works in a firm that is considering a partnership with your company, and what if that person remembers this post and this memory informs his decision? You never know how your words can come back to you after you put them out there. Always put out your very best.
Now, for your question. Yes, 100% is a high standard for which to shoot, but you definitely should review each and every question you get wrong. You should study it thoroughly, so you learn from your mistake and are able not to repeat it. That kind of intensive review is far more important than rereading the passage and trying the questions again. You need to return, in successive days, to the OE of the problems you got wrong, and it would really help if you can write out for yourself exactly the nature of your mistake and what you have to do next time to avoid making this mistake. The standard of the very best students is: never make the same mistake twice. It's hard to live consistently by that ideal, but the closer you can come, more rapidly you will progress in your studying.
Does all this make sense?
