CR : Weak in assumption, bold face, flaw in reasoning, logically complete, must be true, evaluate questions. Accuracy 50-60 %. KINDLY HELP !!!
SC : Weak in parallelism, pronoun, tense, meaning questions. Accuracy 60-70%. KINDLY HELP !!!

D] Quant Timing :
How to improve my quant timing. I gave more than 10 mock tests before I appeared for my last GMAT exam. KINDLY HELP !!!

E] Quant DS :
I am trapped with the language of the question posed. KINDLY HELP !!!

I plan to re-appear for GMAT on 25th Jan 13.
Do I have sufficient time to move from 620 to >=700?.
What all study material/tests should I cover?.
Will I be able to cover majority of bschools and join in 2013?.
I do not want to delay my admission to 2014.

How many hours can you devote to prep a day? The most important thing at this stage is being able to identify your weak subjects and work on them. I think the easiest solution would be to learn with a tutor during this next month.
