What to study - please help!

Hi all - not sure if the link to my assessment report is going to work - if not please advise on the best way to post it to the forum...

OK so here is my dilemma. I feel fairly certain that SC is the weak point in my verbal. As I study and review every day it is the SC (not RC or CR) that gives me the most trouble. The CAT scores, however, do not tell the same story (at least i don't think they do - please tell me if I'm wrong).

One thing I notice, however, are my times. It is taking my about the same amount of time to complete SC as it is CR and I know this is not recommended by the MGAT instructors.

So here's the bottom line. I feel that despite my currently lower average score on RC and CR, I should spend a larger proportion of my time studying SC in order to improve my scores. Thoughts?

Thanks
Mike

I realize my logic might not be clear.

Although I am doing very well on SC, it is taking too long. If I focus my study on SC, I will be able to find the correct answers faster, giving me more time to read the RC passage or review the assumptions in the CR.

OK hopefully my question is clear. Thanks for the help.

BTW, I love that instructors will respond but if any other students have thoughts or suggestions, please let me hear it.

hi,
no, that link isn't going to work. (you can figure that out by looking at it -- it's just "report_view.cfm", which doesn't identify you or your account.)

this is actually the wrong folder for a question like this one; the verbal folders are for queries about specific problems and/or problem types, not for personal study plans.
please post this question in the "General GMAT Strategy Questions" folder.
thanks!
