Verbal roiled up

by Due » Thu Feb 04, 2010 1:24 am
Hello Friends,

I took one GMAt prep test yesteday. Just got devastated. Bad time management I guess.
My first 10 questions were right. Between 11-20, I got of 6 them wrong, between 20-32, I got 1 wrong and between 33-41, I got 7 of them wrong.

I got 28 in verbal.


So, was it essentially last 7 which went wrong ( becuase I had to rush ), which brough down my score. I need verbal 35+. Also as much as I am feeling upset, I am happy becuase I beleve that hitting first 10 right tells me that I would have got into the 700+ level questions. No?

Verbal's tricky. The best thing you can do is just practice. The more you practice the more comfortable you will become. Additionally, if you will need more time for the RC and CR, attempt to only spend a minute on the SC questions. this should help with time

Hey looking the total number of wrong that I got, it was 8 in 33. How good or bad is that.

I think I went a bit relaxed during the exam and lost time, only to realise later.

Anyway if any of the experienced moderatores comment, it would be great solace for me.

My question is, assuming that in the last 8 questions, I had maintained the same rate as in first 33, I would have got 10 wrong in all.

Where can I expect this performance to place me.
