Difficulty in switching context

Hi Friends
I took my second practice CAT (Retook GMATPrep Test 1) and got a score of 610, an improvement of 40 points. A key problem that I seem to face is switching over from one topic to another and keeping focus. Moreso, RC, CR and SC, all have different strategies; so, I tend to perform poor when the problem types are mixed. However, if I solve 20 SC Qs in OG at one go i'll get a decent score. The same problem I face in Quants. When the questions are mixed, I tend to do goof ups especially in DS.

I guess I'll learn with practice. I plan to give practice tests for individual sections so that I get comfortable with switching over nice and easy, before I take my 3rd CAT. Do you recommend any alternative approach...?

I don't think that there is a really easy solution to this--your suggestion about learning through practice seems spot on to me.

One suggestion that may help. When you are doing your practice problem sets, instead of doing 30 or so SC questions in one sitting, why not mix it up with 10 SC, 10 RC, 10 CR? Designing your practice problems sets in this manner may help you get used to these abrupt transitions.

Good luck!

Hi
I think this appraoch has helped me. I think it is also because I am becoming familiar with the strategies for each type of CR and RC questions and am able to apply them with ease.

Thanks for the advice.
Regards
