Hi

I am facing a serious issue, when I do the questions in the test , i get most wrong, but when i do the same question after the test, i mean not in any test i get those questions right.

During the test I am not sure if I should check the time every now and then.., can somebody please suggest some timining chart or sheet what i should follow, the problem is in Verbal only.

Especially the CR/ RC, where I take lots of time to make up my mind.


Need advice on what should I do now, also I noticed that my GMAT PREP 2 is lower than PREP -1, is the PREP2 more difficult than PREP1 ?

Thanks

prep1 and prep2 should be about the same difficulty level.

If you're mostly making mistakes during your initial test, make sure you keep an error log to document what type of mistakes you are making. (careless error vs did not understand principle). try to come up with strategies to overcome these errors so you don't end up making the same mistake twice.

Also, when you are reviewing your test, are you trying to re-solve the problem under timed conditions? every practice problem you attempt should be under timed conditions.
