I am taking the GMAT for a 3rd time (I have a little more than a month before I take it again) and after the first two times, I've realized my problem is timing...
My first GMAT was a 620 (I cancelled that score and felt that the low score was due to nerves and not sleeping well the night before). On my second attempt, I bumped up my score to 660 (Q49, V32), but on both sections I had to blind guess on the last ~5 questions because I ran out of time.
I am wondering if anyone has any quick tips on how to save some time.... My plan between now and my next test is to take as many practice tests as I can and hopefully this additional practice will help improve my general speed and give me additional practice with how to approach different questions (and hopefully improve my speed that way as well).
Any advice would help! Thanks!

Hi krtibdewal,
First off, a 660/Q49 is a strong score (it's right around the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

If you do end up choosing to retake the GMAT, you have to realize that pacing 'issues' don't exist on their own - they're the result of OTHER issues. To score higher and improve your pacing, you will likely need to invest in some new study materials and learn/practice some new Tactics.
1) How long did you study before taking each of your Official GMATs?
2) What materials have you used?
3) What is your goal score?
4) When is your next Test Date?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Don't do too many practice tests... really. In my opinion it undermines your willingness to concentrate on the test. I also did it three times and I did one every weekend, no more than that. I spent the weekdays doing questions on the areas that I had weaknesses.
