Question about timing: Paper based vs. Computer Based
Recently I attended a local course (in Chicago, Cambridge LLC or something) and in their tests they give me:
72 Questions to be answered in 90 minutes (verbal section only).
When I complained about it is too tight (with four Reading Comprehension passages ...etc.) they claimed that this should reflect to what I expect during Computer Adaptive, and this is the same FORMULA that GMAT used when they switched from paper-based to Computer-Adaptive.
Is this true?
Was the GMAT verbal section during paper-based days as tight as this? 72 q in 90 min?
That is exactly 1.25 min per question.
Is this insane? Or What they claim is true, in that the paper-based nature should be much tigher than computer-based since the difficulty of the questions is not adatpive thus does not give you enough difficult question?
Can someone expalin if GMAT was as tight during the paper-based?
If this is true, then I am screwed
My curent timing in verbal is about 1.7 min per question, which should be ok for the computer based (41 questions in 75mins) but is definitely NOT good at all for the-claomed-paper-based test.
Someone help please
