Beliefs / strategies
-----------------
1. RC can be cracked on the basis of keywords. If you can passively read the para in 4 - 5 mins you have got everything. Just get the gist NOT the details. Predict the structure of the passage - what the author is trying to say? If this is one example, next paragraph will be dedicated to next example, theory, etc. So look ahead. Focus more on the questions than on reading the passage.
2. If 90 secs to questions - its a loosing battle. Just move on. The more is the delay, the higher casualties - the more you will burn out.
3. SC score 100% on the D day. Its a awesome lift to the Verbal score.
4. CR - Really haven't practiced the Boldface. Focusing more on the weakening questions. I believe they are the hardest.
5. Last thing - conserve energy. Try to find the easiest way to solve the problem. Specially the CR and DS questions.
