Hey Cloud9,

I took my GMAT on June 10th and got a dismal 690 (49, 34).

My strategy for verbal was ....

******************************

First 25 Questions in First 50 Mins ...

Guessing next 5 questions .... in 1 min

Then last 11 questions in 24 mins.

*****************************

I adopted this strategy bcoz in practise exams my accuracy of hitting the right answer was good but at the cost of speed. So I assumed that even if I get 5 wrong in the middle then I can end up having a good score in verbal. But it looks like I made some incorrect choices in first 25 and last 11 questions too.

So I have to work really hard to increase my speed along with understanding. Now my strategy would be to answer a question within in 1.5 mins (90 secs) and hence attempt all the 41 questions with no guesses.

So cloud9 what will be your strategy?
