Hi, I am planning to re-take the GMAT. My previous GMAT score was Q48. I think I am okay with most of the concepts. I just require some strategies to tackle questions in time so that I get time to address all the questions in the Focus edition. I also need strategies and shortcuts to save time. Is there any resource or approach that can help me out? Please guide me if I need some other approach.
Thanks a lot in advance. May god bless you with everything!

Hi Krishna! Basis the details you have shared, I see that you are spending more time on the first 10 questions (first 5 is higher than the next 5) while the difficulty level is low for the first 5 questions. I think subconsciouly you are kind of re-assuring that your first 5 questions are correct (and hence getting slow). You then get faster in the next 5 questions and from there on it becomes a race against time.
The real issue here is that in the last 5-6 questions you are only able to spend a minute or so which is impacting your accuracy and bringing your score down. The reason is that once you get the last few questions incorrect, the score dips and there is no way to improve the score.
Here is a strategy that you can practice:
1) For practice tests : Spend 11 mins on Q1 to Q5, 10 mins on Q6 to Q10 (you can take 1-2 risks), 10 mins on Q11 to Q15 (you can take 1-2 risks), 14 mins on Q16 to Q21. This also means that (since GMAT clock runs backwards) when you have 36 mins left, you should be at Q5 (considering you need 2 mins to answer that question), when you have 26-27 mins you should be at Q10, when you have 15-16 mins you should be at Q15 (since you will need 1-2 mins to answer that question).
2) For practice sessions: Make sets of 21 questions and try to finish them in 45 mins regularly
You can replicate the same strategy for Verbal as well. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss the specifics.
