WHy is this happening?

I tend to get a string of errors back to back that absolutely kills the verbal score .What could be the possible reasons ?
Is it because am dragged down to my actual level or is it related to some test handling strategies .?

This looks like the MGMAT tool. Very cool tool

Without having more facts about your previous tests, I would say based on this test, it seems RC is the main culprit. It might help to refine your RC notation strategy.

RC: What is the passage structure and main point?

I've been working on this as well. Maybe you are already doing this, if so, you probably just need to do more practice sets (as do I).

Cheers.

that's 6 in a row. while that may seem like a lot, it isn't.
in fact -- if you randomly select "right" or "wrong" for each of 41 answers in a row, then it is about 40-50% probable that you'll see at least one run of 5 in a row.
therefore, you are probably seeing nothing except the effect of pure randomness.

if you want to simulate this phenomenon without taking a whole test, take out 41 of the 52 cards in a standard deck, shuffle them, and note strings of red-red-red-... or black-black-black-...
there will be more strings than you probably expect.
