well done Sarvali,

dont worry about the score for the moment, and just have fun for a few days before the apps start!

can you tell me how you faired in the gmatclub challenges? Also did it take you a long time to do that RC passage because it was getting late and you mind was going really slowly? or was it just a really really tough passage to grasp. How many qs did u guess between 25-41 as a result of the RC?

Thanks guys.

Challenges - I never crossed 28. Percentile was always around 60 - 70.
RC Passage - First of all, as soon as I saw long passage panic kicked in.It was not a difficult passage but boring and long. I did not get any boldface questions. It is now clear to me that I needed more practice in RC. I did not practice RC at all. Just did 15 mock tests. A little OG RC.
3rd RC was definitely much difficult when compared with OG RC. May be practicing LSAT RC should take care of this problem. Just like LSAT CR will make you feel comfortable with GMAT CR. Though I understood the entire passage after 12 minutes, I guessed all the 5 questions. Yes, after staring at the screen for 30 secs per question, I just guessed. Thats why I am saying test took control of me. I was not normal. No rational thinking. We usually call it panic, shock, fear, stress etc..I am sure I got all those 5 questions wrong.

I think it is important to have strategy in mind for every quarter. I mean what should I do if I get a long passage in last 10 minutes. What should I do if I get RC in the first 10 minutes.

I also strongly think that in this forum not many people (like me) are concentrating on RC.
By discussing CRs and SCs over and over and over...we are harming ourselves. I believe all those who participate in this forum are above average in SCs and CRs and will definitely do well on the real GMAT. RC is important.Repeat after me..RC is important..RC is important..RC is important..

Any questions , let me know.

RC is important,

i am concentraring on RC this last few days for sure since i feel i am very hit and miss and it all depends on the passage! and one can't afford to get 3-4 in a row wrong in the GMAT.

RC is important!
but you still should be proud to be in the 700 club, something (a 690'er) I still haven't achieved

saravalli, excellent!
P.S. RC is also hard to me (the same approach to solving RC takes lots of time)

Hey Saravalli great score, 700 is sweet. I completely agree on your views on RC. We always have sound strategies for SC and CR, but RC get missed out. For a great 730+ score RC is a must.
