I thought I should point out (or remind you) that the question in the OG are written in ascending order of difficulty (which explains why your RC scores decreased over the three days)vikrambansal wrote: Day 26 - Sentence Correction IV (Day 4 of 6) 1 - 50 questions from OG 2015 (score 44/50)

Day 41 - Integrated Reasoning (Day 3 of 3)
Day 42 - Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA)
42 days are over & the all content is covered now. Didn't feel confident of taking GMATPrep Practice Exam #2 (1st Attempt) on day 43.
I started with the 60 day guide with a high note but from day 12 onwards I found it difficult to keep pace with it. I skipped questions to cover up. Brent warned me not to do that but I was pacing to meet the target. Even during the days when content was light I was struggling to cover up the leftover from previous days.
Now onwards it's just practice & taking Practice Tests.
Brent: Please guide what should be the corrective action.

At this point, you will take practice tests to work on your test-taking skills AND identify any remaining weaknesses.vikrambansal wrote: Now onwards it's just practice & taking Practice Tests.
Brent: Please guide what should be the corrective action.
While analyzing your practice tests, there are four main types of weakness to watch out for:
1. specific Quant skills/concepts (e.g., algebra, standard deviation, etc.)
2. specific Verbal skills/concepts (e.g., verb tenses, assumption CR questions, etc.)
3. test-taking skills (time management, endurance, anxiety etc.)
4. silly mistakes
For the first two weaknesses, the fix is pretty straightforward. Learn the concept/skill and find some practice questions to strengthen that weakness. To focus on one topic at a time, you can use BTG's tagging feature to isolate one concept. For example, here are all of the questions tagged as statistics questions: https://www.beatthegmat.com/forums/tags/ ... statistics
See the left side of that linked page for more tag options.
If your test-taking skills are holding you back, then you need to work on these. For example, we have a free GMAT time management video at https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gener ... es?id=1244.
Finally, if silly mistakes are hurting your score, then it's important that you identify and categorize these mistakes so that, during tests, you can easily spot situations in which you're prone to making errors. I write about this and other strategies in the following article: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/articles/avo ... teaks-gmat

I'm not taking up any more tests right now. I'm brushing up my skills by doing OG Verbal Review & Quant Review questions.

I'm reviewing my questions using forum answers rather than OG answers. Gives multiple lines of thought & more often the easy way out.
