Solved 1st practice test from Kaplan..

I wanted to give Kaplan's practice test (Paper-Pencil) before going to bed. But, I just could give quant and was exhausted by the time I started with Verbal. I set the alarm to 5:45 AM and slept without any next thought. Verbal section that is pending woke me up even before alarm started to warm up. I completed the test and analyzed all the incorrect answers. I scored a scaled score of 44 in quant and 22 in Verbal. It does not irritate me if I go wrong in DS but going wrong n PS is unpardonable. I made few silly mistakes in PS as well, which could have been avoided if I had done with little more diligence. I got 6 SCS, 3 CRs and 6 RCs incorrect. All 4 questions under one RC were wrongly answered. It cannot get anything worse than this. I have to work more on SCs. I have to collect OG today from my colleague and start off with SCs. I should complete the section in coming days and solve SCs in tests with more caution to gain confidence over the section. I did not mention what the scaled scores mean. I scored exact 600 as per the instructions given by Kaplan. But, I could have improved by another 30, if I was little more focused.
