Its better to know the test well. GMAT is based on adaptive algorithm so the more you take time and solve the questions the more tougher the next question will be. The more mistakes in a row the more your score drop will be. So if you have reached around 90th percentile by 30th question and then guess every other quant question you might get back to where you started. Nobody can get every question right. So its better to time your questions and make intermittent guesses to spread your mistakes evenly. For quant you have to solve it in 2 mins, if not you should skip/guess and move on.

For verbal
CR < 1.45 mins
SC < 1 min
RC < 2 - 2.5 mins

Use some timing strategy to spread the guesses evenly. Then you will be able to catch up and score better.

Can anyone share its timing strategy on the exam. For example for Quant. For questions 1-10 be on the 23min mark, then for 11-20 40min mark,etc. Or something like that?



Thanks!

This is the one i use

Q - 55 30 10 - 10 22 32
V - 55 30 10 - 11 25 36

By 55th minute - you should have completed 10 questions in quant and the rest in that order. Many use different timing strategies. It depends on your comfort level, if you are too slow then you can use more intervals and keep up with them.
