How to improve on time management?

by kymia » Mon Apr 29, 2013 12:34 am
Hello,

After two months of studying I took the GMAT and received a 530. I was able to answer 17 Quant and 21 Verbal questions. Everything else was left blank.
Is it possible to improve my score by 50 points in a month? If so, what should I be doing. I read the questions very slowly because I am afraid of misinterpreting what it is asking.

I would be VERY grateful for advice!

Thanks

When you say "left blank" did you guess at those questions? Or did you not even guess?

That is a good score for only attempting half of the questions...

You should be able to improve with practice. Once you have an idea of which tricks to be wary of you should be able to work more quickly.

Yes, you can do this in one month. All it would take is for you to answer several more questions correctly on each section.

What are you doing to improve your speed?

Hello,

Thank you for the response.

I actually left the other questions blank!

I don't know how to improve on time management. Do you have any suggestions? I have taken 4 practice exams at home with similar scores and the inability to answer half of the questions

thanks
