Time spent revewing CORRECT answers

I don’t think there is any definite answer for this. The timing depends on individual and section. For example, in PS, if you got the answer right then you should look for the technique used by you and that in the book. If technique given in the book and yours is same then there is no point in starring at the question J, else learn the new technique and move ahead. In DS, we need to check technique and both the options. Hence, revision of DS question might take more time than that of a PS question. Verbal might be more time taking. Apart from understanding why right option is right, we need to understand why wrong options are wrong. The idea is to learn new and better techniques, and at the same time ensure not to do the same mistake again.

IMO, there is no definite answer for this question.

I don't have much else to add, other than that I really like your strategy. Studying wrong answers, especially on verbal, is one of the best ways to learn. Sometimes it's much easier to find the four wrong answers than the one right answer, and you'll learn 4x as much when studying if you look at the wrong answers, too.

But yes, the above answer to your question echo my thoughts exactly.

Actually, it's your thought only . I learnt it from one of your posts, and forward it to others.

Ah, that's why it sounded like such a good idea!

I guess, below is exactly what you were looking for. Following is the excerpt from logitecs debrief (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mission-acco ... 74-15.html):

Try to strip down a question. Learn how a wrong answer is designed. Do not time yourself in the beginning of your prep. LEARN to find the answer. This applies to RC as well. Try to find the answer without time pressure. I coach soccer and this reminds me fundamental development. Just as you get comfortable with playing with the ball and learning the skills in soccer, try to learn how to find the answer. Once you master it, play the game. 10 Questions in 20 minutes.

Spend another 60 minutes to analyze all your answer. This might sound crazy for many of you to spend 80 minutes on 10 questions but this is what worked for me. I improved my CR hit rate from low 70's to 95+.

Then push yourself to 10 questions & 15 minutes!

Still I think, there is no hard-and-fast rule regarding timings.[/quote]

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the information and I haven't made a point to check my problem solving methods against the official explanation for the answers I got correct. I'll be sure to do that moving forward.
