    Hi, I have read some BTG articles of 750+ GMAT achievers and they propose the following time tactic:
    1. With the first third of the test, you do it thouroughly and roughly take you 1m45 - 2m per question. Because this part's used to determine your supposed score.
    2. The second third, you should do it faster as it coutains some experiment questions (4-5). So, reduce your time spend to 1m to 1m30.
    3. The last part of the test, you should treat it carefully and spend around 1m45 - 2m per question. Especially, some hard questions, you could spare them around 2m30 but be short in others Very Happy. Because this part will agian be used to determine your final score.
    I'm not sure the above tactic is correct or not. But I hope it could partly help.
    How do you think , peer ?
