Hi

Six to seven minutes taken for just one question of MSR and then answering it wrong is pure injustice to all the remaining question. Surely enough, you answered all three question of second MSR within a minute. Similarly for certain TPA.

You should be able to move out of a question within 1-2 minutes and come back time permitting. What exactly were these two MSR. Some suggestions can be given looking into grey areas.

Hi chetan2u,

Thank you so much for the insights.
here is the 1st MSR: https://gmatclub.com/forum/to-comply-wi ... 21182.html. The 1st question of the MSR (How many 3-character alphanumeric sequences can appear as the 5th, 6th, and 7th characters of a valid CID under Proposal 2?) was supposed to be correct but somehow I was panic when looking at the time remaining, then choose it incorrectly. Moreover, opening calculator is lagging, consuming time as well (I didn't expect this, my 1st time to open it). My 1st thought is to calculate 32^3 but in a moment I changed to 36^3. And, is there any shortcut to use the calculator in DI faster than typing 32 and x 3 times?

I had to guess all questions of 2nd MSR, didn't have a chance to take a look at it. When I reviewed it again on gmatclub, I've done all correctly (but I forgot to click the timing, solving without timing). here is the 2nd MSR: https://gmatclub.com/forum/in-an-econom ... 21206.html

Thank you so much for looking into this!
