For long passages it is easy to understand the passage structure and main point by reading the first and last lines of each para where as short passages will have a lot of transitions. Try to grasp the main point of each para and skim rest of the details. While diagramming write keywords whichever you see. This will save time while reading and you can spend more time while answering. Use the keywords to track where the details are. I hope that will work 
With 3 weeks time you should spend more time on GMAT Prep or OG materials rather than MGMAT materials. It will help you tune in yourself to the GMAT style.

GMAT Prep 2 : 650 (Q49/V36)
Are you sure the score is right because with this split up you should get 690/700.
Check the Feb 4th 2010 video from thursdays with ron available in the below link for quant improvement.

Learn to skip the questions to adjust your timing. I follow a timing strategy and it has been helpful so far. By 10th question you should have 55 mins remaining.
Q - 55 30 10 - 10 22 32
V - 55 30 10 - 11 25 36
This one takes time to get used to it. You should have applied in one or two practice tests before you apply in the actual exam. So its better you proceed the way you solve and not alter it at the last moment. But instead of guessing the last few questions start it when you are at 30th question. Calculate the time and make alternative guesses as in you answer 31 guess 32 answer 33 guess 34 and stop it once you have two mins per qn for remaining questions. You will be penalized more for leaving the section unfinished and for continuous mistakes. So even if you can solve the questions do not hesitate to guess, this will be better compared to losing few questions in a row at the end. Educated guesses or blind guesses is your call based on the time available. Hope this helps !! All the very best for your exam buddy

Woww that's great !!! You get to write it in old format and that too on 26th or is it that you will write with new pattern ?
I don't have anything new to say buddy. You are all prepped up You know where you are lagging behind and where to work on. So hone your weak areas, especially CR. Try powerscore CR bible if you haven't used it to improve CR. Timing will improve with practice. Do not worry about idioms. Try gmat prep questions if you have utilized GMATPrep atleast 2 times. They have more 700+ questions and will give you new insights. If you want to reduce test anxiety make sure you have less intervals in your timing strategy, that will help you avoid unnecessary anxiety for every 5 questions. Keep it to a minimum number of intervals like mine. I was very time conscious and this helped me to avoid the timer altogether.
