Hi Everyone,
I have registered for the exam, March 21 is the day. I took Manhattan Free Cat 4 days back and got he score of 640 (Q44 and V34). I want to push it to touch 700 (Q49, V36/37) at least. I have many(I guess more than 45%) OG questions left to practice. Can you please provide some suggestion to improve my score. Please take your time to view my CAT analysis and please suggest some strategy for these days.
For Verbal:
1. RC: I had got 1 Short and 3 Long passages(as said by GMAT Club tag) which took me 29:10 mins to complete.
Overall Accuracy= 67%, 500-600= 100%600-700= 67%, 700-800= 57%
On RC, I have problem with long passages (ones with 3 or more paragraphs), they eat up my time, and creates panic within me in the middle of the test. When I try the strategy suggested by RON, I tend to spend lots of time on Detail questions (inference, except, specific purpose etc). Searching for the keywords in passages take time. Also, shall I expect to see 3 long passages in GAMT Exam? Please provide a strategy to solve both Short and Long Passages!!
2. SC: Timing on SC was good. But I mistook last 2 SCs, which I could do easily if they were not asked in test, due to rush cause by RC time consumption.
Overall Accuracy = 50%, 600-700= 50%, 600-700= 50%
On, SC, in almost every wrong questions, there was the issue which I already knew about, but could not think about during the test. So would you suggest me to practice more from remaining OG questions for this, or is there any other strategy? Please Suggest!! I got 3, 600-700 level questions incorrect.
3. CR: I am good at CR. I have very bad accuracy in Evaluate and Inference questions. Please provide some tips on this.
Overall, in Verbal Section, I always panic during the test for timing issue. I get frightened when I see an RC passage. Further, In the recent CAT, I was feeling hard to read the the questions. As I take Quant first and then verbal, so, I am afraid if this is because of fatigue? Please provide your valuable tips and help me push my verbal score to V36/37.
For Quant:
I want to push my quant score from Q44 to Q49 at least. I made 4 mistake in 600-700 level (2PS, 2DS), and reason was careless errors and calculation errors. I have 50% accuracy in 700-800 level PS and only 38% accuracy in 700-800 level DS. ( I feel very uncomfortable with Inequalities questions with Absolute Values, and the DS Inequalities questions with negatives positives}. Further, I mistook 3 comb. and probability questions and most of the geometry questions, due to concept gap. I will revisit them. So, please provide any suggestion other than this to improve my quant score to Q49. Thank You. (And, if you would like to see my CAT result and analysis, I will share my free trial id. )
Thank You!!!
