Virtually all of us do make mistakes. The goal is not to go mistake-free. The goal is to limit mistakes, particularly on questions you know how to do.neeti2711 wrote:Do people who score more than 750 never make any mistakes during the practice tests? How do I make myself sure that I am ready for the test (or ready to score above 750)?
So:
1) Always reread the question before you answer
2) Double-check your work, particularly early on
3) On verbal, never, ever shrug and pick something that simply feels reasonable. Always justify your answer. If it's an RC question, don't think "I'm pretty sure this was in paragraph 2." Find the detail in the paragraph, and only once you've proved it to yourself, do you select the answer. Similarly on a CR question, you always confirm the logic first: this answer choice definitely strengthens the conclusion because of x. Hold yourself accountable.
4) make adjustments after each practice test. The practice tests are there to help you refine your timing and strategy and to give a rough indication of what you need to spend more time on. After each test, jot down 3-4 things you can do better next time. Only after you've improved on those things should you take another practice test. Wash/rinse/repeat
