Do's and DONT TIPS FOR GMAT PRT 2

DO take your time with the first few Quantitative and Verbal questions.

The CAT uses your responses to the first few questions to move you either up or down the ladder of difficulty. Of course, you want to move up the ladder, not down. So take great care with the initial questions—perhaps moving at a somewhat slower pace initially. Otherwise, you'll have to answer several questions just to reverse the trend by proving to the CAT that you're smarter than it thinks you are.

DON'T succumb to perfectionist tendencies.

On an exam as important as the GMAT, it's easy to be a stubborn perfectionist. The design of the CAT itself contributes to this mind set, because your reward for correct responses to difficult questions is greater than your reward for easier questions. But a stubborn attitude is self-defeating, for two reasons:
.
1. It reduces the number of questions that you attempt, which lowers your score
.
2. You run the risk of over-analyzing questions, and going against your initial hunch (which more often than not is correct)

As you take the Quantitative Mini-Tests and Verbal Mini-Tests here at my Website, get comfortable with a quick pace by adhering strictly to the time limits imposed. Remember: You can miss quite a few questions and still score high. Develop a sense of your optimal pace—one that results in the greatest number of correct responses.
