1. SC : try to finish sc in less than 1 min ...some difficult ones will require more time and give them 14 SC --18 min should be the target .. practice with right mindset will make this happen ........well the strategy i hav taken is ...........eliminate the big one......by POE......almost always big one ......test parallelism.......so use ........elimination 1 by 1.............first Parallelism....then pronoun......then S-v agreement then ....Tenses and idiom if any...........

i started moving by this ........and amzingly my speed improved.........

2. CR : prephase the answer afer reading the argument .. then look for answer .. even if you can do for 5 ques , it will save lot of time .. 13 CR- 24

........perhaps i get some questions simmilar to OG so .........got the answer choice right after reading the question stem........
........will it work in GMAT . ... on D - Day


3. RC: give them enough time ..read carefully ..move with author ..14 RC-30 min ............3 min for buffer ..

This is the one section, which i really find hard to collect it all in time........i m always short of time........

want some more advise on it.......


4. Be supremely confident while taking the exam .. this is not the time for analysis .. read questions and mark with confidence .. don't hang on one question..
5. Finally practice ..practice and practice with a strategy that suits you ..
.................stilll i m not improving on my RC scores...........i hav done enough of practive but still get atleast 6-10 wrong in RC...........................really clueless
