Hi helix29,

GMATers who have pacing issues tend to focus on the wrong things during their studies. Pacing issues don't exist on their own - they're the results of OTHER issues, so to fix a pacing issue, you have to fix other things first. To help define what those other things might be, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
4) How many questions do you have to rush through at the end of each section?

5) What is your goal score?
6) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
7) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Hi Rich,

1) Past 6 months
2) All OG Books, e-GMAT for verbal, private tutor for quant
3) GMAT Prep 1 (610 - Q45, V27) GMAT Prep II (600 - Q44, V28) GMAT Prep III (640 - Q45, V32)
4) Quant I have to skip about 5-6 questions, Verbal, I have to skip about 8-9 questions

5) 710+ (Q49, V38)
6) In 12 days (I have these days 100% to myself)
7) 2nd round this cycle

Right now, I'm targeting each of my verbal weaknesses: focusing on CR at the moment. I'm at a V38 level with SC, but CR & RC its sub 30

Quant - i've gone through every single concept, but my score has stagnated. Party due to time. If you give me 3 mins per question, I can probably get 80-90% accuracy on any math question. Right now, all I'm doing is practice problems and ensuring I understand the concepts behind the ones I get wrong... (mind you, I've already done all OG + QR problems almost twice).

Do you think a 640 to a 710 is do-ABLE in 12 days? Have you seen it before?

Thanks,
MB

Hi MB,

Your 3 CAT scores are fairly close together, so assuming that you took these CATs in a realistic fashion, your current skill level is in the low-600s. Based on the high number of questions that you're forced to guess on, you're effectively limiting how high you can score on the Test. While you can certainly train to score at a higher level, you're likely going to need more than 12 days to hit your goal score.

From what you've described, you know most of the content/knowledge that you need to score at a higher level, but "your way" of dealing with the prompts is the "long way." This implies that you're in need of new Tactics and you don't know how to take advantage of the built-in patterns that exist all over the GMAT. With another 1-2 months of consistent, guided study, you could potentially hit your goal though.

If you're not planning to apply until Round 2, then you have plenty of time to continue studying and improving. Are you flexible enough to push back your Test Date?
