Hey all,
I'm planning to take the gmat on the 18th of April !
I took the gmat 6 years ago and scored 590. (now this score does not appear anymore on my mba.com profile). I'm targeting a 700+ now.
So far I went through :
- all 5
MGMAT Math books (took notes and did exercises from these books)
- all
OG PS problems and half of the DS problems (made an
error log and plan to finish DS + retake all wrong/guess/>2min questions)
- Aristotle SC Grail : book + all questions
I schedule to take GMAT this mid-April as well. I see that you have all the solid books to get a decent score and me too
. Just want to share with you my study plan:
Quantitative:I spent about 1 week to revise
MGMAT Number Properties and Word Translation (I don't need much time because I have gone through these books once). Then I read
MGMAT Geometry in 1 day, since I found that the knowledge covered in this book pretty quite basic and I was quite familiar with the topics discussed here.
SC:
I used
MGMAT SC and Aristotle Grail SC and read these books in about 2-3 days. Again, I have walked through these materials once, so I did not have to spend so much time.
CR:Honestly, this is my weak area. I constantly got many problems wrong in CR, mainly because I don't understand the logic of GMAC (poor me
). I used PowerScore LSAT - Logical Reasoning Bible, which is similar to PowerScore GMAT except for some sections regarding logic.
RC:I read the book called RC Module MLIC to learn the strategies. Personally I found this book very useful when it introduced the necessary steps to crack each question type and illustrated its strategy by a real RC in the
OG or in the GMATPrep. I needed about 1 day to read this book. Moreover, I usually practice 3 passages in RC99 per day. I use
GMAT Timer by Walker and copy my answer into an excel sheet. In this way, I can do the passages in a time manner and keep track of the wrong answers.
During the next 2-3 weeks, I will devote my time to practicing problem in
OG 12. Upon completion, I will use
GMATClub Tests.
As someone has recommended, I will spend the last 3-4 weeks to do the full length CATs and definitely spend more time to analyse the tests.
FYI: I am a non-native speaker and am struggling with Verbal.
