My question...

by GambitOS » Fri Nov 27, 2009 1:22 am
Hi folk!

I'm really confused about verbal part of the test. When I take the questions in precise order (for exampel - first - only RC questions, next - only CR questions, next - only SC questions) my score is normal! But when I take the questions of the same difficulty in the another order (one from RC, next from SC, next from CR, Next from SC ect.) I lose 4 or 5 right answers... :( I wanna to know your opinion about my problem. Can you recommend me some kind of technique or give good advice? Thanks a lot for your attention!

P.S.I'm not a native speaker

I've personally never heard of such a problem before. You've noticed this after how many practice sessions? If it was only like 2 or 3, it might not be that relevant. If it's always like that, you might have a problem. Have you noticed this in your practice CATs as well? You're probably not used to mixing things up and get in a "SC mindset" or "CR mindset" or "RC mindset". The answer would be to try to practice by mixing question types, but I'm no convinced that would be 100% effective.

Thanks DanaJ!

I tried to practice more and my fulfillment became better. I think the problem was in lack of training with mixed-order-question.
Now I'm fill more assured in this part of the test (like my score :)); I stop lose right answers.
