doable questions ... guessing questions

[the nona]

How to differentiate between both ??

I mean , sometimes I might encounter a question that is difficult but I can get even if exceeding the time limit/question a little bit i.e it is only a few steps far .When should I decide to take that risk and solve the question and when to have a best guess and proceed saving time to other questions???

Thanks

Please read this article. It will help you to learn how to practice in such a way that you develop a sense of when you are making the proper progress.

It is called "Diagnose your way to success" https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2012/04/ ... at-success

Also, must experts would say that at any point in the process of working a question if you are within 1 minute of solving then keep going and solve it. I mean a correct answer is worth one minute right? And the time you have already invested is a sunk cost and is already gone. So if you have spent three minutes but you are 30 seconds away from finishing it would be foolish to stop and guess! Better to finish. If you are more than 1 minute away and you have already spent more than 2 minutes you might be in trouble and should think about moving on...this could be a problem that takes 5 minutes and you still have to guess!!

Does that help?
