If you felt pressed for time, using question/time markers may be helpful. Consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th edition for SC and CR as well. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could also be useful.

Score-Quest · Answer

Verbal:

Sentence Correction: This appears to be a significant area for improvement. Your percentile is 18th, with an average time of 2 minutes per question. SC ideally should be answered within 1 to 1.5 minutes. It suggests you might be spending a lot of time second-guessing yourself or trying to decipher the rules. This excessive time spent on SC is likely causing you to rush through CR and RC. It would be beneficial to hone in on your grammar rules and SC strategies to boost this score.

Quant:

Problem Solving: Your percentile here is 38, indicating some challenges. For Problem Solving in Quant, focus on building a solid foundation in core concepts, and consistently practice a mix of questions to cover all areas.

First of all, great IR score! and Quant score is decent too. In Verbal, you made many mistakes in the first quarter and then some mistakes on easy questions in quarter 2 (in spite of spending extra time of them) and that brought your score down. You started getting easy questions and couldn't recover from it any more. Check out this video. It will tell you the question types that are a part of Analysis and Critique in CR: https://youtube.com/shorts/1LjFJp7QkTw You need to focus more on them. There is a lot of scope for improvement in SC and that's great! You can improve SC by a whole lot in a short period of time. Here are some videos that will give you some ideas: https://youtu.be/P9FMzbopfik https://youtu.be/5JWjr6qQAfY In Quant also, you are spending a lot of extra time on questions and still getting them wrong. In quarter 2, you again got some easy questions wrong. I think there are some conceptual gaps because of which this happened. Do note that GMAT's penalty for incorrect easier questions (as per your level) is much higher than the penalty for hard questions. So one cannot afford to make silly mistakes.
