Hi guys

I am following a timing strategy that is not working well and I would love to have some suggestion for its improvements.
Currently I am using the following strategy

Quant

For Quant:

60 - 7
45 - 14
30 - 21
15 - 28

This means at 60 minutes, you should be past question 7.

Verbal

60 - 8
45 - 16
30 - 24
15 - 32

So what I feel is that when I am within the time range I slack and hence lazy around and finally I have to catch up as a result i had to guess 6 of my last Q's for GPREP and they ended up as incorrect.

I would like some suggestion for a better timing strategy or atleast correct this one. Any feedback is welcome.

Tks in advance.

try this: (Princeton logic for 38V and 47Q target)

25 mins on first 13 ques
25 mins on next 14 ques
25 mins on Remaining 14 Ques.

If u r good in verbal u will easily see 37 on the score report. [I am consistenly struggling in this section :( ]

25 mins on first 12 Ques
25 mins on next 12 Ques
25 mins on Remaining 13 Ques.

If u r good in Quant u will easily see 47 on the score report.

Total score will be > 700+

I am no expert but i think all you need is practice.
There is no substitute for practice.
I too had the same problem.

Best thing start with RC.

Initially i was not at all comfortable with RC n my accuracy on RC was 20-30%. so i started solving more and more RC ques and now RC is not that bad.

verbal timing depends on where in the test u get RC. If u get RC in first 10 ques then its a good idea to give give 1-2 mins extra if required otherwise if RC is towards the end then you can make few educated guess.
