Hi , I attempted Gmat prep practice cat -3 and performed horribly in VA(28). I went with the mindset of doing well in first 10 questions( Saw few simulations run by gmatclub member and they were rooting for this to work ) really well. However it didn't turn out a good strategy for me. Below is the split .
Q 1-13 C- 12 W -1
Q 14 - 29 C - 10 W- 6 ( No string of wrong answers involved more than 2 questions )
Q 30 - 39 C- 3 W - 7 ( Ran out of time and had to guess on a lot of questions ) - This looks to be a cause of poor score .
Q 40 , 41 Left unattempted.
I scored V31 & 36 in my previous two GMP practice cats and worked really hard to improve on my weak areas. TBH before the test I was feeling very confident of doing well in VA and was expecting to score around 40. However seeing this score which much worse than my previous scores I am feeling a bit demotivated. Also , I am writing GMAT in Sep last last week and hence have only so many days to improve. On Quants I am doing decent enough , have been scoring 49-50 in all the CATS. But with this sort of performance in VA even Q51 will amount to nothing.
Could you guys help me understand my mistakes ? Where did I lose it totally ? Or is there something I did horribly wrong. ?
I guess you probably had a few wrong answers on a trot in Q30-39. That was one of the reasons.
Another big reason was the fact that you had 2 unanswered questions. Never ever leave questions unanswered. It is worse than answering them incorrectly.
You'll have to work a bit on ur speed to fix this.
