Out of the 23 verbal questions, i usually can attend 19/20 questions. Usually questions 9-12 are RC questions (longer version of RC). If i attend these , i will lack time towards the questions (20-23). If i skip Questions 9-12 (and get most wrong), i can complete the test
Which is better strategy
1. Leave questions 9-12 (and mostly get it wrong together), and complete the other questions fully
2. Attend the longer RCs (9-12) , and get the last 4 questions wrong (q20-23)
Please let me know if you have any idea . I am retaking gmat day after tomorrow, it will help me a lot

Hi. It is an interesting strategy/approach. I have done some tests with GMAT Prep. I have made experiments with the Quant section: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-focus-a ... 18176.html
I would recommend that you test out ANY scenario that you are planning to attempt on the Final GMAT Exam and not just try to do it on the test day.
Now, both options are not great but if you have to choose, I would pick the path where you just guess the entire RC and move on, and then come back to it later if you have time. The reason would be that the RC is not adaptive question to question (though GMAT OG usually has 7-10 questions but we were supposedly told RC is not adaptive) which means you won't be skipping any easy questions. That's what kills your score - guessing wrong easy questions and ensures that you can get as few easy questions wrong and as many harder ones right to bulk up your score.
Anyone has a better idea - perhaps a third option I am not seeing?

Hi Aim4gmat2024,
"Skipping" a long passage is quite risky, but I agree that it can help you save a lot of time.
This close to your exam, I recommend you go with the strategy that you are more comfortable with. That said, keep in mind that you can't make more than 3 edits if you do get time to review your answers.
All the best.
