Hi,
I finished OG verbal supplement. I am having problem with verbal timing,
CR: I take 3 mins on an avg to solve one question- approach: I write down the premise,conclusion etc and then I attack the question. It takes 3 mins, but I get it correct.Sometimes I have to go back and forth among the answer choices. It takes another 30 secs. Please let me know if there is better approach. If I donot write down but try to solve, then I keep going back and forth between arg, stimulus and ans choices many times, And may get ans wrong.
SC : On tough SC I take around 2.5 mins, when 2 or 3 choices are close. And my hit rate in OG verbal supplement was 70% to start with and slowly came down to 45-50% toward's end. For SC's I try to read the question and without reading answer I try to figure out the prob/sol and later I go look at ans choices, everytime I find atleast there are 2 close ans choices and eats away my time. Is there better approach for this ?
RC : I read first para twice sometimes and then take notes for each and then go for questions. I take 4-5 mins to read passage and avg 1.5-2 mins to solve each questions.
So overall my scenario in exam is by the time I have reached 30 questions on verbal my time is exhausted, I end up marking 11 questions blindly and out of 30 about 17 will be correct, which will land up in low verbal score. My goal is to make atleast 30 correct in verbal out of 41.
I appreciate your help. Please let me know other strategies/practice material to beat the timing issue.
Finally, I would like to know if OG 11 is better than OG supplement ? Do they have repeats ?
Thanks again
