Hi, I've just taken my GMAT with close to none preparation on quant section and got Q51. It might contradict .................
p.s. as for how unprepared I am for quant, I spent a minute DURING THE REAL GMAT wondering where's the calculator and reading the help section to see if the lack of calculator is mentioned...... lol
Hi Azalea: Are you suggesting me to spend as less time as possible on easier questions and then utilize the freed time on cracking the harder ones? But would not it hurt more to get the easier question wrong than it would benefit to get the harder questions right? Also are you recommending Kaplan Premier 14? Thanks
Be very careful with any "strategy" you use. Not everything works for everyone. Some people need no prep, some need a bit and some need a lot - it all depends on your subjects in school, time elapsed since you took your last test, job you are in etc. Also, if your concepts are clear, you will be able to find the answers of easy questions in a few seconds and with complete certainty. Don't try to run over them without taking a step back to ensure that what you did is correct.
The approach should be to try every question to the best of your abilities but do not spend more than 3 mins on any question. You will spend about a min on easier questions and a bit more than 2 on trickier ones so it should all even out. Don't try to game the software because you don't know exactly how it is designed. We do know this though that it is intelligent and knows that people try to "game" it. If you feel you are regularly falling behind on time, then you can try out some other more robust strategies.
Thanks for your comment Karishma. I am just revisiting OGs right now. Once that is done I will start taking practice tests. If I see that I am constantly facing timing issues, even after trying to pace myself well, I will get back to you for more advice. Thanks again.
