At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Thank you for sharing. It seems there is no guaranteed order or sequence of questions. We are all used to seeing or sees is distributed throughout the passages but for some reason sometimes they are jammed together. Would you have at least one debrief from the last year where a person has gotten all for reading comprehension passages as a single block. I can tell you they did not appreciate it and I did throw them off as well.
That was a surprise for everyone. But I guess GMAT can do it. I don’t think it is nice or fair or helpful, frankly that throws off all the prep and timing game but they can do it unfortunately.

Hey mate,
Really unfortunate to hear this, I could relate and understand where you are coming from as one of my official mocks had three RC passages in consecutive order. And after a two RC, I was completely drained that I just skimmed through the third RC and moved on. And on top of this, my first RC was in at question 6-9, which later impacted by CR score as well. Although after the mock, I told myself that it must have been a bug but seeing your post really opened my eyes and I imagine I have to make myself ready if it happens in my exam.
But I took a big lesson from this and tried to incorporate it in my preparation by practicing easy, medium, and hard RC one after the other before jumping to check my errors. Hopefully, you can do the same and see if it works. This will make you prepared if it happens again. All the best!

It would have completely thrown me off. I use intervals to measure my progress on the Verbal. Basically I split the test into three equal parts and gauge my timing and progress that way. Having three RC passages in a row was completely thrown off my timing and my sense of performance.... so yeah even that would be a pretty big disruption.
