Phase1 ---> Qsns 1 to 10 -- Time 25mins -- Target Error 1 -- Target Accuracy 90%

Phase2 ---> Qsns 11 to 20 -- Time 20mins -- Target Error 2 -- Target Accuracy 80%

Phase3 ---> Qsns 21 to 30 -- Time 15mins -- Target Error 3 -- Target Accuracy 70%

Phase4 ---> Qsns 31 to 41 -- Time 15mins -- Target Error 4 -- Target Accuracy 63%

Total ---> 41Qsns -- 75mins -- 10 Errors -- Accuracy 75%


Few points about the above mentioned strategy -
1)This strategy, if executed properly, can help average students (like me) to score close to 40 in verbal.
2)Make sure that u r ahead in time as far as this strategy is concerned. For example, u can try n complete first 11 qsns in first 25mins (only if u r confident enough to do so). Similarly u can try n complete next 11 qsns (12 to 22) in next 20 mins. These 2 extra qsns (at the end of phase2) can provide time cushion during phase3 & 4.
3)Also try to get as close as possible to the target errors during each phase.

Guys!Please let me know your thoughts on this.


Thanks!

Well you should not target making mistakes :) but I like the way you think. Building your base score in the first two quarters and moving forward with a little bit time risk. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you.

well i have tried this strategy for many verbal tests & its been very useful.
just wanted to share with u guys & wanted to know your opinions.

As far as targetting the mistakes is concerned, I believe even a score of 800 will have atleast couple of mistakes. So the logic is to make minimum number of mistakes to maximise your verbal score.


Thanks!
