Ireadfast6/19/2023 ![]() Going forward, you really shouldn't take more than 1 FULL CAT per week. This is one of the reasons why you typically should not take more than 1 CAT per week - and your last CAT should be taken about 1 week before Test Day. In addition, the process of taking (and reviewing) a CAT requires a significant amount of energy and effort - and takes time to 'recover' from. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not. To raise your scores, you have to learn the necessary Tactics and put in the proper practice and repetitions. To start, each CAT/mock is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. Trying to speed through a bunch of questions will always push your score down. ![]() Meaning, either give the question the time and respect and the effort that it deserves, or just throw it away. In other words, on the GMAT, go big or go home. You'd be much better off throwing away a long RC passage (just guess on the associated questions) and use that extra time to read the other problems slowly and thoughtfully. In general, the minute you try to rush your reading on the GMAT, you've already lost the game. Based on your name, we're probably from the same part of the world. My second official exam (last mock test I took today): 23 on verbal, 48 on quant. I would like to hear some advice, how can I overcome this problem? I tried taking the exam without any time limit and got 730. I finish the exam right on time but I feel that I just didn't understand anything I was reading on the last 15 questions. after about 10 questions, when the questions get hard (700 level) it takes me about 3 mins per question and I usually get them 50% wrong.Īnd then I find myself at question number 21, with about 20 mins left, rushing as fast as I can with short questions (most of them are mistakes), guessing on the long ones. My problem is clearly in the verbal section:Īfter tracking my error log for some time, the number 1 problem I face is that I do not understand what I'm reading when I try to read fast, most of the time I start with about 1:45 per question on the first 5, get them right,īut then, in the first RC section, it takes me about 3:20 per question. ![]() I have done well over 14 mock tests, all of them between 590-650, avg quant 48, avg verbal 30. I am studying for the GMAT for over 2 months now, I've learned every topic I can and watched every existing youtube video about the GMAT. ![]()
