Today I attempted my second MCAT and shocked with the result.
Scored 590 (67 %) : Quant: 44 (79%)
Verbal: 26 (44%)
As mentioned by Stacey i reviewed my exam.
1. Essay Part : Didin't spend full time, spend approx 30minutes on both of the questions and just prepared a outline how to go about them. But didn't write anything.
2. Wrong Question Trend:
Quant: No 4 consecutive questions wrong, However towards the end of the section i got 32,33,34 and 36,37 wrong. All of the questions 700-800 level. I analysed and found towards the end i got little frustrated seeing tougher and tougher questions and not able to concentrate properly. No problem with timing in this section
Verbal: Again no 4 consecutive questions wrong. But many 3 consecutive questions wrong. One surprising thing is got one complete RC wrong (20,21,22) --- average difficulty level
Again 25,26,27 got wrong, spend required time on these question but still got wrong
Again towards the last it looks i just lost the war, Question 36,37,38,39,40 - all wrong - difficulty level 600-700, also last 10 questions i was running out of time
Please advice how to concentrate more towards the end of section. This is not the first time this happened, my last simulation test also towards the end i made maximum number of mistakes. As you already mentioned in few of forums reply that do the practice at a stretch and I am doing the same but still not able to implement my concentration while simulation test.
3. Way too slow:
Quant: I am very confident about my quant so i consider 2+ minutes as too slow and 3+ minutes as too too slow.
2+ minutes : total of 10 questions ( 7: 700-800 level, 3:600-700 level)
Correct:4 , Incorrect:6
3+ minutes: Total of 7 questions (all 700-800 level)
Correct:2, Incorrect:5
Again topic wise,
PS: 11 ques
DS: 6 ques
Total time spend on these 17 ques is 50 minutes (got a total 21 700-800 level quest) :(
rest 20 ques i did in 25 minutes :)
Please suggest how to reduce this time
Verbal:
All Sentence Correction question completed with the time-frame
Reading Comprehension: Spend more than 5 minutes reading on two passages (both have average difficulty), out of that passage got 1 completely wrong
Critical Reasoning: 3+ minutes on 1 question but got that correct
Also i don't find any pattern while analyzing these questions
Total time spend is 30 minutes.
Please advice how to reduce time on Reading Comprehension?
4. Way too fast:
Quant: i consider this as less than 1 minutes
PS: Correct:5, 0 Incorrect :)
DS: Correct:2, Incorrect:1
Most of them 600-700 level
Verbal: less than 1 minute
CR: Correct: 1, Incorrect:2
RC: Correct: 4, Incorrect:1
SC: Correct: 4, Incorrect:3 (i am concerned about this i am solving too quickly and accuracy only about 50%)
Most of the questions are 600-700 level,
300-500: 1 ques wrong
500-600: 1 ques wrong
5. Overall accuracy:
Quant:
PS: 59 % with average correct 660
DS: 47% with average correct 650
Timing discrepancy between correct and incorrect is huge around 1minutes 20 sec in both PS as well as DS
Verbal:
CR: 36% with 480 (very much concerned)
RC: 50% with 590
SC: 67% with 600
No Timing discrepancy between correct and incorrect
Just want to tell that in the first MCAT i scored very good in CR around 70% accuracy and 600-700 level difficult & 45% in SC but this time its other way around.

Re: Help required analyzing my preparation
I'm glad you such a thorough analysis. I agree with some of your analysis, but not all of it.
First, you don't mention your goal score, but you do mention that your test date is 10 Aug. That's only about 3 weeks from now. Your last practice test was in the high 500s. If your goal score is in the low 600s, that's a reasonable timeframe. If your goal score is 650 or higher, you may need to consider postponing your official test.
Later:
THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. There should be zero questions above 3m (maybe one right around 3m, that's all) Just finishing the section on time does not indicate that someone is fine with the time - finishing the section on time is only one part of managing your time well.
Another piece of evidence indicating there's a problem!
Look at that data: you spent more than 3m on 7 questions (which means a minimum of 21 min on those 7, and you only got 2 right. Plus, you also had one incorrect sub-700 DS Q in less than one minute, and possibly others in the 1m to 1.5m timeframe on which you may have made a careless error.
Were there any quant problems on which you said, "Argh! I can't believe I got that wrong!" when you reviewed your test? And were any of those done in less than 1.5m? If so, that's a careless mistake caused by rushing, and that rushing was caused by spending extra time on problems you got wrong anyway.
You never know when you might make a careless mistake. All you can do is set habits in place that will help you to minimize the chances of making a careless mistake. And speed / rushing is one of the primary causes - especially if you are getting fatigued and having trouble concentrating!
So. You do have a quant timing problem. You need to fix that problem. :)
You need to learn about how long one minute is without looking at a watch or stopwatch. If you don't have one already, buy yourself a stopwatch with lap timing capability. When you go to do a set of problems, start the stopwatch but turn it over so you can't see the time. Every time you think one minute has gone by, push the lap button. When you're done, see how good you were - and whether you tend to over or underestimate. Get yourself to the point where you're within 15 seconds either way on a regular basis (that is, you can generally predict between 45 sec and 1min 15 sec). Note: at the same time that you are using the stopwatch to time this "1-minute" thing, also use the OG Stopwatch (in your student center) to track the total time spent on each question.
Now, how do you use that when doing problems? If you're not on track by one minute*, make an educated guess** and move on. (The general idea is that if you're not on track by the halfway mark, you're unlikely to figure out what's holding you back AND have time to do the whole problem in the 1 min you have left.)
* For SC, 1min is well beyond the half-way mark (we're supposed to average about 1m15s here), but you can almost always eliminate at least some choices on SC in that timeframe. Once you've got that "I'm around the 1min mark and I'm struggling" feeling, go through any remaining choices ONCE more. Pick one. Move on.
** This also requires you to know HOW to make an educated guess depending upon the type of problem and the content being tested. So that's something else to add to your study: how to make educated guesses on different kinds of problems.
(Note: educated guess is just a fancy term for "find some wrong answers and cross them off.")
Later:
That's 5 in a row. Which is it - did you have 4+ in a row wrong or not?
Ditto on the verbal - everything that I wrote above for timing on quant.
Okay, on to the next topic: stamina. You should expect in general that you start to get a little more sloppy towards the end of a section and, especially, towards the end of the test. Nobody's going to be as fresh at the 3.5h mark as they were at the beginning. The key is to understand your personal patterns and to set up habits to combat those.
For example, is it the case that you can get ANYthing wrong, as long as it appears towards the end of the section? Or do you tend to get certain types of questions or content areas wrong more frequently? Maybe you're still okay with algebra, but long word problems start to suffer towards the end. Maybe complicated CRs are the worst when you're tired. Whatever it is, look for patterns - any that you can find will help us to target your efforts to improve.
Also, go back to those problems and, for each one, write down exactly WHY you think you got it wrong. Were you unable to comprehend all of the text? Were you more sloppy with your scrap paper - maybe you didn't write everything down or didn't write it down neatly? Did you try to do some calculations or comprehension in your head rather than on paper? Did you get turned around more by the answer choices on verbal - struggling to pick between two, or struggling to eliminate in general? What, exactly, was going on at those times?
Again, if we can understand WHY your performance was dropping, then we have a much better chance of figuring out good solutions to deal with whatever those issues are. Then you can go make the necessary good habits and break the bad habits, which will help improve your concentration / stamina.
Total time spent on what? On the two "long" passages and the one "long" CR?
Here are some articles that can help with reading and finding info in RC:
http://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/04/ ... mp-passage
http://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/07/ ... rc-passage
On SC, "way too fast" is generally less than 45s. Were these less than 45s? (You said "less than a minute" in your post.) If yes, then yes, you need to slow yourself down here! Make sure you're using the process described in the below article. Also, to eliminate an answer, you should be able to place your finger on a specific word and say to yourself, "Yes, that right there is wrong and I know exactly why." Make yourself be thorough and systematic (within the time constraints, of course!).
http://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/06/ ... on-problem
Try to figure out WHY. Did you spend a lot of time studying SC because of your performance on the first test, and not much time on CR? Go back over the most recent CR questions; WHY did you get wrong the ones that you got wrong?
Come back and tell me what you think you figured out after REALLY digging into this CR issue. Also, use these two articles to help do this analysis:
http://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/05/ ... -reasoning

Quant: No problem with timing in this section
Later:
3+ minutes: Total of 7 questions (all 700-800 level)
Correct:2, Incorrect:5

Re: Help required analyzing my preparation
Thanks Stacey.
I analysed my CR section again and found most of the mistakes were in questions where i have to choose between the two choices ( i know not a good sign) but for a time being its ok because i know their is a scope of improvement which is under my control (after sentence correction). Thanks for you advice regarding quant sections.
Day before yesterday i again attempted MGMAT CAT 3. I score 660 (Q50 V32) with complete exam simulation breaks & AWA. Your quant advice has really helped me a lot and now i am scoring high. My goal is to score 730+ (i know with current score it looks impossible)
Regarding verbal need your last week advice.
I am doing ok with Sentence Correction (average difficult wrong now 680), sometimes i got questions wrong even i know the rule which is to be applied but still do silly mistakes . So i am practicing and reviewing whatever i am doing to get the rules right and to understand the pattern of questions like whether it is a parallelism or verb tense or modifer
Critical reasoning has now become a area of concern (into the last week ) and to improve upon i went through Manhattan CR book again, then attempted all my wrong OG questions and started Verbal Review 2 for extra CR preparation, I have covered around 30% of the book and will finish that soon.
Reading Comprehension is ok. I found there is no fundamental problem, i am pretty good with making sketch of the passage, complete the reading within 2-3 minutes to get the essence out of the passage and then for specific questions look back to the passage. Accuracy level is around 70%, which is constant. I am not able to find pattern of my wrong questions.
I am planning to attempt my first GMATPREP tomorrow. Hope for the best :)

Re: Help required analyzing my preparation
Sorry I'm just getting to this now - I've been sick all week and I'm behind.
Good job on your last test! I want to mention something - generally speaking, we should expect to get similar scores on our last "official conditions" practice test and the real test. If you are fine with a score somewhere around 660, then great. If you really want that 730, you should postpone your test.
Sounds like SC is where it needs to be, but you have room for improvement on CR especially. For CR, concentrate most on the 4 main question types, and make sure not to LOSE time if you get a minor-type question (most people get only one or two minor types per test).
If you are going to keep your test date, then you should be in review mode at this point - you aren't going to change your strengths and weaknesses much in the last few days. If you postpone your test, let me know, and then we can get into "change" strategies in more depth.

Re: Help required analyzing my preparation
Again thanks a lot stacey. Please take care of your health
Bothering you again. 3 days to D Day so no point cancelling it:
I attempted GMATPREP1 3 days back and scored 710 (Q50 V36). I think regarding Sentence correction now i reached a stage where i can't improve much because questions I got wrong (total 4) has nothing to do with rules.
I got 3 CR wrong and i am pretty frustrated with that..have to get this thing sorted out before my actual test. So practicing CR, CR and CR :)
Attempted my Manhattan CAT 4 and scored 680 (Q47 V35)...regarding Quant I really lost interest as system keeps throwing harder problem which i thought is quite a higher level then what GMATPREP test (my personal opinion..but still great test). In this test i was doing great in verbal but messed up in last 10 questions...got 7 incorrect :( (analysed and found that the reason is my tiredness as it was the not the actual test conditions in terms of freshness, i got tired during the 4th hour...2 AM in morning). Now all section average wrong is above 700 and CR 750 :)
I attempted GMATPREP1 again and scored 710 (Q50 V35) again, with a total 11 wrong in verbal. Senence Correction 4, Critical Reasoning 4 and RC 3. Again CR is creating problem. I am brushing up my fundas again. Thanks for your advice too
Planning to attemp my GMATPREP2 tomorrow. Lets hope for the best.

Re: Help required analyzing my preparation
okay, those numbers are better - assuming you did everything under official test conditions, you're in the high 600 to low 700 range now.
DON'T BURN OUT! The closer you get to the real thing, the LESS you should be doing. Only 2h TOTAL on the day before the test. Promise?
Good luck! :)

Hi Stacey,
Scored really bad.
650 (Q51 V26)...Can't believe my low verbal score.
Please suggest
