Hi anishraina,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. So, great start with your first two mocks! Q50 and Q51 are awesome! Regarding your remaining four mocks, since you have 13 days left until your exam, you should complete all of them, such that you take your last mock exam at least three days prior to test day. Remember, you want to be fresh when you take the GMAT, so taking a practice exam too close to test day could hurt more than it would help.

That being said, since you are only 3 points away from your verbal score goal, after completing each mock exam, be sure to carefully analyze ALL verbal problems. For those questions you answered correctly, what was your process? What led you to the correct answer? For those answered incorrectly, why did you get the question wrong? Did you misread the question? Did you run out of time? Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not understand a concept? By reviewing all questions with a fine-toothed comb, you should be able to locate and then fix lingering verbal weaknesses.

When practicing Reading Comprehension, you need to develop a reading strategy that is both efficient and thorough. Reading too fast and not understanding what you have read are equally as harmful as reading too slow and using up too much time. When attacking Reading Comprehension passages, you must have one clear goal in mind: to understand the context of what you are reading. However, you must do so efficiently, so you need to avoid getting bogged down in the details of each paragraph and instead focus on understanding the main point of each paragraph. That being said, do not fall into the trap of thinking that you can just read the intro and the conclusion and thereby comprehend the main idea of a paragraph. As you read a paragraph, consider how the context of the paragraph relates to previous paragraphs, so you can continue developing your overall understanding of the passage. Furthermore, as you practice Reading Comprehension, focus on the exact types of questions with which you struggle: Find the Main Idea, Inference, Author’s Tone, etc. Analyze your incorrect Reading Comprehension answers to better determine why you tend to get a particular question type wrong, and then improve upon your weaknesses. You can perfect your reading strategy with a lot of practice, but keep in mind that GMAT Reading Comprehension passages are not meant to be easy to read. So, to better prepare yourself to tackle such passages, read magazines with similar content and style, such as the Economist, Scientific American, and Smithsonian.

If you’d like any advice regarding Sentence Correction or Critical Reasoning, please reach back out, and I can provide some further advice.
