Eliminate series of wrong answers

by ShalakaK » Wed Jul 10, 2013 11:14 am
Hi,
Could soemone give me some tips to avoid series of worng answers in verbal?
In GMAT prep exam I got series of 6 questions wrong much before question number 20.
In the later questions I got 4 random answers wrong.
My verbal score dropped with a zoom.!

Thanks

Assuming that you are not talking about missing 6 reading comp in a row or something like that, it would seem that the thing that all of those questions have in common is that were back to back. You may have lost some concentration for a while and succumbed to some easy answers. Unless each of these questions happened to be more difficult than the others before and after that is what makes the most sense. I would say work on avoid prolonged lapses in concentration....

THanks David.
I missed 3 RC questions in a row of the babck to back question that I missed.

Ironically, I got 49 in quant,8 IR, but too low in verbal.
I'll have to find some way to keep up my concentration.
