Hi Experts ,
Please find attached is screenshot of my ESR.
Recently i scored 670 Q48 V35 IR1 AWA4.0
It can be clearly seen from ESR that i screwed up big time in RC.
But i must say during my preparation and mocks only SC was going good. My condition was hopeless in CR and ok ok in RC.
But in actual exam things took U turn.
Can some one please suggest how to approach for the next attempt ?
i Clearly remember during actual exam i faced 4 passages . Out of which one totally went above my head so i marked all 4 questions on it in less than 15 seconds each.
And remaining 3 passages i was confused between two options at many questions.
Thanks

HI adityadon,
Since this ESR points to RC as your 'weak spot', we clearly have to focus on that. I do want to point out that you finished the Verbal section a little early and that you were spending a bit too much time, on average, on your SCs - both of those details impacted the amount of time that you spent on the RC prompts, which likely caused some of the trouble that you faced.
I'd like to know a bit more about how you trained to deal with RC:
1) What materials did you use to learn RC tactics and practice RC prompts?
2) What 'steps' do you go through when dealing with a typical RC passage?
3) Do you know the major RC question types and common wrong answers?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I don't think that someone who can do as well as you did in SC and CR can really be at the 14th percentile in RC. Maybe you just need to take the exam again?
And please get your timing under control. You must already know that it's not a good idea to mark (in this case) the last 4 questions in 15 seconds. Those questions were probably 33% of the RC you got on your GMAT.
