Guys,
How do I handle timing on verbal, its killing me?! I do have trouble focusing and sometimes need to re-read the passage but the timing is still giving me trouble. For instance, yesterday I took two verbal practice tests (skipped the math). On the first one I got a 30 because I was running out of time and had to guess on the last 12 questions which I got 90% wrong and ended up with a 30. Funny thing is I was kicking butt up until that point.
The next test I had a lot of repeat questions so I already knew the answers, got only one less wrong and ended up with a 35. I suspect it is because I answered really hard questions which I got wrong the first time around but knew the answers to already. So how do I pace my timing? Skimming the RC doesnt really work for me.
Also, on CR, I came across questions which I swear didnt seem like english with a lot of jargon. How do you crack these?!

Fawreel,
Timing on verbal actually should not be an issue. The key here is to master SC. I believe if you have done loads of practice with SC, you can solve them within 60-70 seconds. This will give you some time on RC's.
Also spend time wisely on RC. It depends on where you are in your verbal section. If you get a RC in the very beginning , spend a bit more time on it and make up for it in later questions involving SC's. On the other hand, if you get an RC, near the end, you can move a bit faster if you are pressed for time. And make sure for CR you dont take more than 100 secs for every question.
It's no so easy to get into this discipline, i have had a tough time with this , but recently have overcome this and getting on track.
one more tthing, while reading a passage, take your heart out and read it with complete concentration. If you let your mind wander, then for sure, you will re-visit the entire passage and will kill time. Read once and read it hard .

Thanks for the advice. I just dont get some of the really tough CR questions and the answers they give. I could argue until my face is blue that 2 of the answers I picked were better than the ones that they picked.
