Love this! Thanks Derrick. I have seen some people who go as long as 12 hrs a day. Do you think they would be in the zone for that long? Or are short bursts of focused study, kind of like the Pomodoro technique, work better?

[@MagooshGMAT]

I think 12 hours would be a bit extreme! And yes, it is unlikely that all 12 of those hours are focused and productive. Short bursts, like the Pomodoro technique, tend to be more effective.

I suck at Verbal 😭. After reading few concepts of SC I tried solving SC based on those concepts I read and failed miserably. The answers set logic completely opposes my assumptions and understanding. Any suggestions on how to get started and get better at it.

This is actually quite a common story! Feel free to email [e-mail] for more detailed advice 😊 But the keys are to 1) memorize vocabulary. 2) Read a lot! This can't be overstated, and is the best way to improve over the long haul. And 3) Keep an error log and study your mistakes until you fully understand them. Then keep coming back to them over and over so you don't forget 😁 Do those things and you will improve! Though it will take time. Keep at it :)
