Re: Practice Tests vs. Real GMAT

Hi guys,
i'm facing a problem.. could some one help...
When i'm practicing Official Guide, i find tht i'm able to answer all the Qs in an reading comprehension with reasonable time (avg 2 mins or less per Q) but during a Comp-Test, somehow i'm unable to comprehend the reading comprehension in one go... & i have to read it again (if not full than a part of it) after reading each Q & before answering it...
[any strategy how to avoid this]

I have my GMAT scheduled on 24th Aug.
Let me share my practice scores...
Took the PP1 & kaplan diagnostic during the weekend... startling revelations... got 690 in PP1 (after i have completed the SC part on OG) & 640 in kaplan diagonistic...
Before the test i was not at all confident abt my performance in SC but to my astonishment, In both the tests i bovine mastication not perform upto the mark in reading comprehension & critical reasoning whereas i did pretty well in SC.... Also, i'm not able to complete the test in verbal section in due time... in both the tests i could complete only 35-36 Qs before the time ran out... if i can save some time & actually attempt these Qs, i'm sure my score will go up by ~30 points...

[could someone share some time saving techs]

seems i have worked a lot on SC & now need to work on critical reasoning & reading comprehension for-a-while
