I've been preparing for 4 months and I just don't see a big improvement in my CR timing and accuracy. After solving entire OG12 and 2nd ed verbal review, I thought I will be in good shape but things turned out to be different when I gave my 1st MGMAT prep exam this past weekend.
I scored a low 530 (Q43 V22). My timing is pathetic (3mins on average for CR questions). I just don't seem to intuitively get the assumption in an argument, and I believe this is the main reason I'm jumping between choices. Spending too much time on CR questions leaves with very less time for other questions. As a result I end up guessing quite alot of questions and getting them wrong.
Name the books and I have them (powerscore, MGMAT). So I do believe I have the right material. It is not the case that I was acing OG CR questions, but I always thought that after learning from the mistakes I would do better 4 months down the line. For sure I didn't learn from my mistakes.
There were times during my prep when I did question my reasoning skills. I never thought I was this bad. I definitely cannot afford to do this 1 month before my exam. I need some advice on how can I improve CR in this 1 month. Should I keep taking prep tests and try to reason out the answer choices quickly? Or should I refer to the strategy guides again and figure out something?
With a typical 40hr/week work schedule, I can literally count 6 days when I havn't studied for GMAT in these 4 months. Disappointing to see such a low score. I know I can do it and I know I'm better than this.
