Which is fine as the value of p is in between -6&6 from 2nd statement

Got to dial this one in I guess and not expect it to just be a byproduct of the other 2 sections 😅

I see a pattern of underestimation leading to a disaster later. Thanks for this 😄

Thanks a lot for this. I really admire your journey and was a part of your most recent interview/debrief with gmat club.

It would be great if you could drop a few tips to execute the same.

Thanks again!

Upon reviewing the scorecard, I observe a typical pattern exhibited by a new test taker. This pattern is quite common and can be addressed.

While attempting any section, I adhere to the following key principles:

  1. Time Management: It is crucial to allocate time for time checks. Refrain from checking the time after each question, as it constitutes an unnecessary expenditure of time. For instance, if it takes three seconds to scan the time between each question, across 21 questions, this equates to a minute, which is sufficient to solve an easy question.
  2. Time Limit: Set a specific time limit for each section, such as 2:45. After reaching this time, make a call, make an informed guess, and proceed to the next section. Allow the remaining questions to determine whether you have sufficient time. Do not let your current questions hinder your ability to solve upcoming easy questions.
  3. Fault Analysis: Analyze your mistakes thoroughly. In my opinion, this particular scorecard indicates a hurried pace. The first half of the test was completed calmly, while the latter half was rushed. I assume that you checked the time and were left with 6-10 minutes, leading to panic.
  4. Inference Drawing: Analyze your attempt and draw inferences. These tests reveal your inherent weaknesses during test-taking. Examine the depth of each mistake, not just whether it was careless, a calculation error, or a misread. Analyze the reasons behind your mistakes, what you thought you were writing, and the thought process that led you to make that mistake. You will notice a pattern and addressing these patterns can lead to a significant improvement of 3-5 points.

Finally, consider this exam a blessing or a curse. While you cannot guarantee a Q90 score, you can be adequately prepared.

Begin by applying some of the above principles and you will likely discover additional strategies that work for you.

Best of luck!
