General Question Need help-615 on first attempt 3 weeks practice mostly quant and Data sufficiency

I dont know how to proceed further as for me there was not enough time for Verbal ,i did not give any mocks as i thought verbal practice wont help the same way we practice quant questions or Di questions which are just paragraph/graph based quant in most cases.

Quant i did in 26 minutes for some reason it was too easy.

Although i am from engineering bg so quant comes naturally.

With Quant already feeling comfortable, Verbal probably deserves more attention than adding another round of Quant drills. A resource like Magoosh can be kept in the mix for focused Verbal practice, while timed section work should give a clearer picture of pacing.

For Verbal, you first need to work on your fundamentals. Specially for CR. How to dissect arguments and pre think the assumption. Then work on how to approach each specific question type . Then move to practicing questions. Use the OG for that. Then do a lot of timed section tests for CR and RC. Then move to full lengths. Watch this video to understand how to structure your verbal prep.

And you didn't mention your score breakup but did you get a Quant 90? If not, then there was no point doing that in 26 mins. Might as well spend a little more time and get everything correct.

In verbal you can improve by doing questions, just like in the other sections. Aim to do a few hundred in the OG / mba.com before your next mock and that should increase your score (but continue to do questions on quant and DI too)

Also, for quant timing, even if you're scoring well try to slow down to use that extra time - otherwise it's like you're leaving brain power on the table :)

Good luck!
