however, I would say it is important not to ignore any area even if it’s an area of strengths, still give it a time of day to keep it strong because GMAT is a perishable skill and if you don’t exercise your gmat muscles, your score will degrade
Makes a whole lot of sense. Now that I see this did happen with my last mock. My rc accuracy dropped from 100 % even if my SC went up। Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and type it out! I hope you have a great day☘️☘️

Hey everyone, I have my GMAT Classic exam on Jan 31, and my CR and RC scores have dropped. I have this feeling that my brain can’t CR anymore. Any tips on how I can come out of this state?

try doing easy or medium questions and passages to build up your confidence again. Also try 700 level queestions untimed. Dont try to attempt a very large number of questions instead do 5-6 maybe

Thank you! I am trying to develop a timing strategy too. For CR, I am sticking to easy and medium questions to exercise my reasoning. But for RC, I am struggling with longer passages, worrying that time will run out. Any advice on how to deal with these longer passages especially if one pops up at question number 25 or sth? Because that’s when the nerves get to me.

It’s so sinister! And I found some passages on the OG that were long but accompanied by only 3 questions? Reading time = 4 mins, per question = 1 min. Total 7 mins. That equates to 2+ mins per question.

Whereas on average we get 1.8 mins per question in this section. Devoting all that extra time there, and struggling with CR (which takes me at least 2 mins to answer based on the difficulty), makes things so much harder

Hi guys, I have a question. Back when this study plan was made, IR and AWA didn’t matter. Now that the focus edition is out, AWA probably still doesn’t matter, but what about IR? Does it still not matter or will the score in this section matter now?

@bb could you please shed some light on this?

I understand. I think I need to rephrase what I said. Basically, now that Focus edition is out, will adcom also focus on the IR scores of Classic GMAT candidates? Usually, IR and AWA didn’t receive much attention, but will IR be given importance now despite not being included in the composite score?

Hi All, I was just about to book my GMAT test date for end of April 2024
I saw we can book the GMAT classic only till 31 Jan 2024 i.e. tomorrow

Can you guys suggest between GMAT Classic and Focus Edition, which one is preferred so far
I know all the differences between the two tests - GMAT Ninja’s video was helpful

I just want to take the students’ opinion before I decide

Any comments would be very helpful, thanks!
