HELP Expert Advice needed - - GMAT is 3 days away and Im sti

by soni_pallavi » Tue Oct 30, 2012 10:44 am
Dear All

Need expert advice and fast....I've been trying to increase my accuracy levels on CR and SC sections for the past 10 days and have not been getting to the level I want.Id say on all the practice tests Ive taken till now I get anywhere from 28-31 questions correct out of the 41 questions on the Verbal section and the mistakes are usually in this way

SC - 4-5 Wrong

CR - 4-5 Wrong

RC - 2-3 Wrong

I want to reduce these numbers by 2 questions each in SC and CR so that I can cross the 700 mark.Im taking the GMAT this coming Saturday (3rd Nov)

Please advise....how much and in what way should I practice further in these sections??????

Thanks for the help...

Since you have only 2 more days to go, you may want to focus on revising Sentence Correction concepts because there's nothing much you can do about Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning in such a limited time. Just go through the error log that you have made(if you have made one) and try to get mentally prepared for the test. Also make sure that a day before the test(i.e. on 2nd November), relax as much as possible; otherwise studying a lot the day before the exam can prove counterproductive as it will make you very anxious at performing well on the test.

I thought I should point out that a person who scores 700 and a person who scores 600 will answer (approximately)the same number of questions correctly/incorrectly. The difference is that the 700 scorer will answer questions with a higher level of difficulty than the 600 scorer answers.

This (and the GMAT scoring algorithm) are covered in this free video: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gener ... es?id=1251

Cheers,
