Hi Ankit2112,

Many GMATers face pacing issues in the Quant section, the Verbal section or both – so you are not alone. However, it's important to remember that pacing problems do NOT exist on their own - they're the results of OTHER problems. Before we can define - and fix - those other issues, we first need to discuss how you've been studying in a bit more detail.

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

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

Hi,

It's good that you actually realized this issue before your actual GMAT exam day. The biggest challenge that most of the exam takers face is time management, especially when working on accuracy in the verbal section.

IMO, one should devote time, to analyzing one's own weaknesses & strengths. This provides an understanding of the time required to give to what sections & types of questions. Analyze & Strategize...Practice & Test.

Practice, Strategize, Excel...
Hope it helps!
