Hi,
I'm a little bit slower and it takes me forever to solve a math problem (aprox 4-5 min) or respond to verbal questions (4-7 min), maybe faster in SC. I did first all the OG questions, except the RC section, and now I'm doing them one more time before procceding to the 1000 sets. It takes me almost 1 hour to do 20 Cr questions. I think the problem is my reading speed is very slow and sometimes I have to read the passage twice to understand what it says, the same for the answer choices. I tried to read faster but in this way I don't understand too much.
I downloaded Walker's timer, by the way great tool, and yesterday I tried to do 20 CR question under time pressure, one question in 2 min. I have noticed that by the timer biped at 120 sec I was just reading the first answer choice on many of them and that paniced me and I couldn't concentrate on the actual question. It seems that I don't have time to analize the arguement and the answer choices. I had a lot of mistakes because of that. I'm pretty sure that if I had had more time I would have done them, maybe not all of them but a lot more. In the math section happened the same thing.
I am confused, I don't know how to prepare from now on, trying to not spend more than 2 -3 min on a question, or take my time for now. I'm afraid that my time won't improve in this way. Or doing a lot more problems will get me used to the questions more and I'll do them better?

Read some books on Speed Reading and improve your reading comprehension. Moreover do increase your vocabulary, which might be another reason that why you are rereading.
Devote atleast 1 month on this and parallely invest your time in learning math basics rather than doing actual questions.
After 1 month start doing actual practice and I am sure you would see a +ve difference in your reading habits and problem solving skills.
