Hello All,
I am a re-taker . In my prev attempt i scored V20 . After almost 7 months of preparation, now I am planning to retake the exam in 3 weeks. I have tried several mocks from Veritas , Jamboree , Manhattan and Gmatclub .However in most of the mocks I am not able to score greater than v35 consistently . I got >v35 once in Manhattan and twice in Jamboree test .
The problem is that I am not able to attempt all 36 ques on merit in the allocated time. RC is my weakest area and it is consuming most of the time with less accuracy . When i am trying the same problem after the test , mostly I am getting them correct .

I am disappointed and seek a bit of help.

Been there my friend. If you think your score has hit a plateau then it most likely means you need to brush up your concepts and create strategies for attacking question types.
For RC - I think you should watch GMAT Ninja YouTube videos on GMATClub. They are super useful. Ideally you should be able to hit 3-4 minutes for a passage if you don't try to focus on memorizing details. Also is there a difference in performance between short and long passages?
For SC - Analyze your mistakes topic wise and use MGMAT for strategy. They clearly tell you what to look out for. In SC, it is more about the non-underlined portion than the underlines. How is your accuracy on 700 level questions?
For CR - I found PowerScore CR Bible to be helpful. The main tip is focus ONLY on answer choices that attack the conclusions. Don't get strayed by Out of scope answer choices. Highly recommend going through the OG questions and explanations on this forum for getting a firm grasp

Hi Kudos if you found this helpful.

I feel demotivated when i see a long passage in the mocks with the timer ticking .
How is your accuracy on 700 level questions?
- For CR .. 60-70%
- For SC .. 50-70%
- For RC .. 30-40 %

But for all section , if the level of ques goes up .. time per ques also increases by 20-50 % .. And that is where I struggle .

May you please share the RC videos of NINJA .. you were referring .

Looks like you need to focus on solving those 700 questions accurately first.
