Repeating the same mistake - Time management

by sivagmat » Wed Jun 26, 2013 9:28 am
Today I took the quantitative test of 800scorer. Last time, I did not manage my time properly and I spent more time on few questions. So, I had rush through the later part. This time I started my test with a mind set of not to repeat this, but when I feel I can answer a question, though I realize it is time consuming I am unable to come out if it. I spent 25 minutes for 5 questions this test, which is literally a blunder. So, once again got 14 wrong answers. I have to change this, or I will land myself in a big trouble. :(

Time management is key!
I suggest that you use a Milestone Chart to keep you on track. This is covered in our free GMAT time management video at https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gener ... es?id=1244

Also, you must be open to guessing. On the GMAT, being a perfectionist and refusing to give up on a question will inevitably kill your score. On test day, if it helps with the guessing, remember that many of the questions are experimental questions and do not affect your scores.

Cheers,
Brent

Hi ,,

Q33,V26 Score 500. Though low, better than the previous. In the verbal section, I managed my time perfectly. But CR was pathetic. Got only 6 out 15 questions correct. I did all the OG 13 questions and lot of other practice questions also. I was confident with CR, but I don't know where I am losing again

Hi ,

I am not able to download MGMAT or Kaplan's free practice tests. It is directing me to a purchase cart and after that I am not getting any details regarding the test. Now I only have 800 scorer's test and GMAT prep. Are there any other free sources for practice tests. If so please share with me.

Thanks :)

My score is 500 (Q33,V26). Though a low score , its better than the previous :). Critical Reasoning is the area of concern now. I did the time management well in the Verbal section.
