Hussain you seem to have improved from Q43 to Q48 in MGMAT test and even in actual test as well. What is that you did for such a drasting improvement in the score in short span of time. I am asking this question because I am currently hovering at score of Q43 in MGMAT so would like to hear from you how I can improve on it.
One more thing how much importance I should give to topics like Probabilty Combinatics based on your actual GMAT experience. Did you find many questions on these topics.

I think MGMAT Q section is a bit tough in comparison to the real gmat Q stuff. So if you are doing a 43 in MGMAT it means you can reach Q46-47 in real test. Alot depends on the practice too. What I did was a lot of CAT practice, thus enabling myself to be used to 75 minutes game plan. Two points are critical in Q section of GMAT -Dont panic if you get some hard questions -Dont spend above 3 minutes on a single problem. If you feel you know the methodology but unable to solve the question in 3 minutes, then better leave that. Believe me 1 or 2 wrong questions in Q doesnt make much difference, unlike the ones in Verbal. So cutting short, I think you need to take a gmat prep test to know your real Q abilities. I tried initially to learn probability concepts, but then adapted a clear strategy. I spent hardly a minute & a half on prob,comb questions by making best possible guess & then moved forward. I think that worked for me. It allowed me some extra time to spend & thus my nerves stayed calm. I saw hardly 2 questions related to this topic in real gmat. Best of luck for your endavour & let us know if we can be of any help.

But it all depends upon how much time do you have. Number of tests attempted is not important, but number of concepts learnt from test is. Make sure you review them properly especially DS questions.

I am currently at Q43 in MGMAT Test In the initial tests i was scoring above average on gc tests only because of DS. Now in all my recent tests score is quite good. I hope I carry it in the exam too. The DS questions are really great. You will learn how to reduce your errors. Once you reduce your errors, your score will improve. But do not give any test before completing the quant theory.

Hi Hussain,
I just wrote GMAT club test 1 and could get 23 correct 26 percentile only. I was able to complete the test in 59 mins only and I was feeling that I was doing quite well. But it totally screwed up. Would you like to comment on my performace and advise if any.

Just take another gmat club test with complete focus. Also, dont try to run through the questions. Draw a time schedule & comply that. After doing 3-4 club tests, your performance will indicate your real abilities. I am attaching a standard time schedule for your convinience.

Hi Hussain, Ur preparation schedule is really inspiring. You told that you were getting around 25-27 corect in the verbal sets. I have done from 21-30 but am constantly getting only around 20 correct. Could you suggest me any way out of it to improve my hit-rate?? I find RC as a problem for me and am working on it. But even after working for sometime there is no significant improvement in the hit rate. Plz Help Thanks Sairam

Have you gone through this wonderful guide by bb? gmat-club-s-reading-comprehension-strategy-guide-83101.htmlAlso, I loved Gin's approach for RC. I am attaching Gin's Guide, hope that will help. "Concentration while reading the passage" is the key & practice leads to this concentration. Best of luck.
