Hi,
I have written a few full-length CATs(Kaplan and GmatPrep) and I have realised that my time taken per question seems to vary quite a lot. It ranges from 40 secs to 180 secs over the span of just a few questions. Overall, I do not face a time crunch and am mostly left with a minute or so at the end of both the Quant and the Verbal sections. I have been scoring in the 650-690 range across 4 tests. Also, there is no correlation between the time I take and my answer being wrong/right. I manage to screw up in both scenarios i guess![:lol:]( "Laughing")
.
What will the GMAT algorithm make of this variation? Is it even considered by the adaptive algorithm while deciding my "payoff" for a certain question? If yes, what all should be kept in mind to avoid a negative impact on my overall score?
Could someone also give me some pointers to improve my consistency wrt the time taken per question?![]()
