Hey guys,
Time to ask your advice because I got stuck again with my self - preparation program.
I had signed up for 60-days-GMAT-study guide and, following all its instructions, solved all tasks from OG12 and recommended Kaplan textbook. It helped me to increase my performance for the math part (from 22 to 42) but the verbal score remains the same - 20. The biggest problem is speed of my reading and comprehension - it is too bad. I can understand the tasks, apply the proper strategy for each type of verbal question but I do it very slowly (E.g. RC long text takes 5 minutes instead of recommended 3,5 mins, CR - 3-3.5 minutes instead of 2-2.5 minutes).
I used to ask here about how to increase the speed of reading and I'm working on it on daily basis but I'm afraid if I do only reading (not only GMAT kind of texts but newspapers, magazines etc) without taking math, SC, CR quizzes I will start to forget strategies, small GMAT tricks etc.
so my question is: how to keep the CR, SC, PS and DS skills alive and fresh during the preparation. I can spend 3 hours per day for GMAT (1,5h before lunch , 1,5h after).
E.g. shall I take 10 (as example) PS and DS tasks one day than spend the rest of time reading and next day the first 1,5 h for CR and SC and the second 1,5 h reading again?
P.S. I review flash cards on daily basis.
