Hi, there. I'm happy to add my 2¢ here.

I am not familiar specifically with the nature of GMATPREP SC questions, but I will say: often, it is the nature of a good test prep source that their questions are a bit harder than the real questions, so that if you get used to that level of difficulty, on test day, you'll have the delightful experience of thinking: oh, this is easier than I thought.

Long before test prep companies existed, this has been the characteristic of demanding teachers everywhere. Set the bar higher than necessary, so that when students find themselves before the real bar in the real world situation, it doesn't look bad at at all.

If you're at the point that you can cruise with OG question, and you can get most GMATPREP questions, but some are too hard ---in the 680-700 on GMATPREP material --- I'd say you are in good shape for the real exam.

Does that make sense?

Dear mrinal2100,
I'd like to recommend Magoosh. We 200+ lesson videos, including a long series on the grammar of SC, so that can significantly boost your performance next time. Here's a sample lesson:

We have 800+ practice questions, so plenty to practice. Each practice question has its own video solution. Here's a practice CR question.

Next time you take the GMAT, you will need to deal with the Integrated Reasoning section, which launches this coming Tuesday 6/5. Here's an eBook I wrote about IR:

Finally, quite relevant to you: Magoosh has a score guarantee --- use our product, and we guarantee that your score will go up at least 50 points or your money back. That would be at least 670, and possibly more.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Dear Mrinal,

First of all, here's a blog I wrote about guessing/skipping strategies when you are running out of time in the last minutes of a section.
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/guessing-a ... -the-gmat/

As for the larger question, how to improve 80 points and how to work faster and/or perform well under time pressure --- understand that, in the abstract, those are almost impossible questions to answer. Other than saying that you find the verbal section difficult, you really haven't said anything about the individual question types you find challenging, the specific kinds of mistakes you are making, etc. If you posted some individual GMAT questions and indicated what confused you about that particular question, then I and the other experts could give you concrete strategies for improvement.

Of course, Magoosh has a number of powerful strategies concentrated in one place, which is why we can afford to offer a 50-point-increase money=back guarantee, and why many of our clients see an increase far greater than than. I don't know whether you checked out the links in the above post.

So, my recommendations:
a) In this forum, don't ask any more general vague overall questions, and start asking questions as concrete and specific as possible. There's no limit to the number of individual post you an initiate. This will allow the experts to help you in the most effective way.
b) Sign up for Magoosh, and I have a sneaking suspicion you will see both your efficiency and accuracy increase by leaps and bounds.

I hope that's helpful.

Mike
