Hey guys,

so i just took gmat prep#1, and was going through the verbal section. Is it normal that i got 17 sentence correction questions with only 11 critical reasoning and 13 reading comphrension? i thought it was an even split between sentence correction and critical reasoning....? does anyone know if this is the breakdown for the actual exam?

Thank you! :)

The normal questions break down is,

Sentence correction --> 14 to 15
Critical reasoning--> 13 to 14
Reading comprehension--> 12 to 14

IMO it may differ by few questions.

hmm i see. just hoping for the actual test its at least an even split since sentence correction is not my favorite topic. hence the lower verbal score that im use to seeing.

thanks!

it happens only when ur accuracy of CR/RC is better than SC & vice versa (my personal experience)
