GMAT strategy

by amandeep.hora » Tue Oct 13, 2009 11:22 pm
Hi

I was a bit curious to know if one should spend more time in the first 10-15 questions to ensure that they are correct and then spend less time for the questions towards the end...
I joined princeton review, there the prof told me that you should spend more time in the first few questions.
Regards

I guess it depends on how much more time are u going to spend on the first 10 questions?

If it means, you rush through guessing the last 10 questions, or even worse dont manage to finish the test - then I would say its a bad strategy.

If it means spending 23 mins, rather than 20 mins on the first 10 questions, then I guess its an okay strategy.

I'm wondering about this also. I read in PR's Cracking The GMAT book to do the same thing. The only problem is I ended up not finishing the last 12 or so problems.

It is hard to find the balance between speed and accuracy. Any help?
