friends, i´ve got a question!
when you are doing your verbal drilling (e.g. with the 1000s docs) - are you doing like blocks of certain types (e.g. doing CR for 60min, then doing SC for 60 min,..) or are you alternating your verbal drills like it comes in the gmat (1 CR, then 1 SC, then 1 RC, etc)?
It would be really good to know what strategy are you applying in focusing during your verbal practice. I ve been doing like for a couple of months always blocked sessions (60 min of CR, then 60 min of SC, etc) .. but I am somehow not making the desired progress. I know it sounds stupid , but practicing gmat is for me like in the gym (where u usually do blocks of the same exercise..) however when it comes to the real test it´s more like a parcourt of alternating things...!
I really appreciate your competent input!
Cheers

Hi,
I think you have better chances to receive a reply in the other forum branch – the one dedicated to GMAT strategies.
Nevertheless, here is my opinion. I believe that what type of practice is better for you depends on your studying style. I, personally, also do the questions by blocks – but by smaller ones than you do (20-30 SC, 15-20 CR, 2-3 RC). And then I write down all I missed into the error log. Also to have one day (maybe two-three) totally free of verbal practice could be helpful. Cannot evaluate this strategy, however, – at least not until I take the Real Thing
One more thing - I advise you, aside from practicing the question types, to do one full CAT at least once a week (with two essays as well) – just to be sure that you will be able to perform well during all 4 hours of the exam.
Good luck!
