Hi,
I am planning to give my GMAT exam soon, however, I am not able to finish my mock test on time. Can anyone share their time planner? A planner explaining that how much Time I should spend on each section so that I can complete my test on time?
Here is my approach to timing issue:
Quant: We get an average of 2 minutes per question. So, some questions take me longer while others not as much. Nevertheless, I do not spend a second more at 3 minutes mark. 2:30 minutes must be a red flag zone. Practice questions in a timed manner and you would develop a sense of timing and hence get better at it.
Here is a rough Breakup for Quant:
By question # 11, -> Time left 55 minutes.
By question # 26, -> Time left 25 minutes.
Verbal: Everyone would suggest that you shouldn't average more than 1:30 minutes in SC and 2 minutes each for CR & RC.
However, here is my timing breakup during the test.
I have divided 75 minutes of Verbal in the following way:
4 Sections of 18 minutes each and 3 minutes for the last question.
So, By question # 11, -> Time left 57 minutes.
By question # 21, -> Time left 39 minutes.
By question # 31, -> Time left 21 minutes.
Do not fret if your timing is off by 2 minutes ( plus or minus) as that may be the courtesy of RC.
