Timing per section and per question

Hi jko,

Thanks for sharing your views! (and I would consider you as a GMAT expert looking at your scores

Ok, so what you are saying is that just take the average time available per question (for Q 2min and for V ~1.5 min) and then based on that during the test see whether you are moving ahead or lagging behind when you get a bit stuck on question.

Can you share a bit more about how you use this "in practice"? So, for ex, lets say you are on Quant Q15 and you can see the time on the screen - would you quickly calculate that 14 previous questions * 2 = 28 min, so your clock should be showing around 47 mins left. I found this a bit difficult to do as I need to calculate backwards on whether I am doing ok. (btw just wanted to add that I have only been doing partial tests - no full lengths yet except GMAT Prep1 w/o any prep). What I tried to do is that I pre-calc the amount of time that should be left at the certain periodic intervals (Q10, Q20, Q30 and similarly for verbal) and trying to get used to the benchmark timing that should be on the screen.

Please let me know how do you implement the approach you suggested. Thanks
