Hi Pranav,

Since raising your score about a hundred points in such a short period of time isn't practical, you should look at this upcoming Test Date as something of a learning experience. While it's certainly important to make sure that you're correctly answering the 'gettable' questions, there's a big difference between moving slowly and working efficiently. From what you describe, there are a number of inefficiencies in how you're dealing with the GMAT overall. While we can certainly improve those areas, it's going to take time (and you've likely developed some 'bad habits' that will take time to fix). From what you describe, one of the immediate issues is that you're going into each prompt assuming that you're going to have to read it twice (so on an instinctive 'level', you're not really trying to understand what you read the first time you read it - and THAT would cause anyone to have a pacing problem). Put yourself in the mindset to 'attack' prompts from the moment you start reading them (take notes, label your work, be clear on what the question is asking you for, etc.) and you'd be surprised how straight-forward most GMAT questions actually are.

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