One week later...

No improvement! Took Power Prep test 2 today 710 (Q 50, V 37).

I have decided that I will redo the OG and analyze each and every option (yes, the wrong ones and the right ones too..). It makes sense to get into the mind of the test makers to see why something is right or wrong. But, the explanations....the verb, the participle and the subject and all.... confuses me. I go by the " sound ", and have varied results . My attempts to master the nuances of grammar are horror stories. I've got more wrong than right, while trying to go by the "rule". I guess I must learn to accept it... I'm better off going by the "sound". May be its in my blood now..... I don't want the syntax anymore... just the semantics. I guess you must have understood by now, that I'm another one in "your" league - IT, Indian Male : )

I must get better at...

1. Reading the complete option (I tend to skip half the line...).

2. "Completely" reading all the options. (My heart tends to lean on the first optio which seems right)

3. Reading the question stem just once (Or may be twice... I just seem to waste too much time re-reading it.)

I don't seem to be having too much trouble parrying the quant questions. I'm in a doubt, whether to stop quant practice and focus totally on verbal, or to do both. Personally, I don't have much enthu in doing the math as I feel I need to buck up my verbal prowess.
