Hello...
I have been a quiet member for awhile and really appreciate many tips on this website. Today, I just took real GMAT. The result confuses me a lotttt because I took GmatPrep for 4 times (they are all different tests after reinstalled) and normally I do verbal better than maths.
There are 2 times which I got 710 with V about 90% and Q about 85% (can't remember exact scores). There is one time that I got V 70% and that is the lowest score I got for V.
Yesterday, I did the last test which I got 680, V 41 Q42. Then I took the real test today. I felt that maths is easier than GmatPrep but verbal is harder and I ran out of time +felt blank after the 10th question) After I saw the score, 650 with Q50 V28, I was so confused and disappointed.
I don't know how to prepare for my next test so that I can be confident about my score since my gmat scores seem to swing weirdly.
What I have studied are
1)
OG 10 - finish maths and sentence correction... did first 30 questions on critical reasoning and last 100 questions on passage (I just feel that it is hard to prepare for passage...very much depends on what passage I get)
2) cracking the GMAT- princeton review... skip many parts- didn't feel it is helpful but use PR technique about estimating lengths/ ratio from the geometric pictures (good when you don't have time to think)
Bin 4 maths questions are very difficult... I only got few questions right
So, I wonder if anyone has any suggestion for study materials for both verbal and maths. The score today just freaked me out because verbal score swings so much.
Q1) What is a good book for improving score on passage and critical reasoning? I will probably buy
MGMAT for SC... Is
MGMAT also good for CR and passage as well?
Thank you in advance for advice
P.S it is very helpful if you study what you got wrong in maths in GMATPrep and be careful on the test - I checked answers twice for the first 5 questions and guessed on the last 5 or 6 questions
