what if i miss out on last 5 questions in verbal!!

[\'manpreet singh]

I have been practicing verbal for last 15 days now ,i found out on the two practice tests i gave that i always miss out on last 5-6 question out of 37 questions that are there in the verbal.

Basically i lose time around the 31st or 32nd Question having a min or two with me only.So i wanted to know if i randomly guess the last 5 options , how much effect it has on the final score?

Kindly someone put some light on this.

There are 41 questions in verbal. 37 is in quant.

This means that you would be randomly guessing on more like 10 questions on the verbal?? That is certainly more than enough to make a huge difference.

Even 5 questions on verbal can be more of problem than on the quantitative side. You really need to work on your strategies so that you are more efficient. No one can say exactly how many points that you will lose - this depends on how lucky you are at guessing, the difficulty of those questions that you guess at and other factors. However, I can say that you will be better off getting more efficient so that you can address all of the questions. This is even more true on verbal than it is one quant.
