excluding too long passages..

[mohan514]

hello ,

when i a practicing i have been completely excluding very long passages as their chances are very bleak to appear on the real gmat ..

i know they would make the small rcs easy but i have my exam in a month ..

so with very little time left is it worth spending time on big passages..

i am not a verbal genius anyway .. looking for about 80 percentile..

For students who are non-native English speakers, this may be a good strategy to give you more time for the other questions in the section. Of course, it does mean that you'll likely answer all 4 related questions incorrectly (or perhaps one guess will be correct).

The best way to test whether this strategy is best (for you) is to try it out on a couple of practice tests and see if you're happy with the results.
