Strengthen Your GMAT Verbal Muscles Without Worrying About the Clock
It’s only natural that students want to make their GMAT prep as efficient as possible. So, many students jump into timed GMAT practice before such practice will really be worthwhile.
Noticing and interpreting the nuances and key details of GMAT Verbal questions requires deep analysis, and the muscles used for that analysis need time to develop. If you never (or hardly ever) stick with a question for as long as it takes to get the correct answer, you won’t give yourself time to build strong Verbal skills. Consequently, correctly answering Verbal questions under time constraints will always be a struggle for you.
On the other hand, if you strengthen your GMAT Verbal muscles without worrying about the clock, you’ll naturally speed up as you progress through your Verbal study.
So, wait until you are consistently getting questions of a particular type correct, then introduce time constraints. In doing so, you will find that you’re much better equipped to manage time pressure while maintaining accuracy.
