Hey there,
I´m posting this message to call for tips and strategies to improve 110 points in 30-45 days.
Today I did the GMAT and scored 490 (Q39 and V19). I had been studying since 1st of January and my goal is 600.
As you can see, big gap between verbal and quant, although I have a B2/C1 level of english (did my bachelor entirely in english).
a) My 1st mock GMAT PREP was 400 (Q28 V17, without time concern, without knowing structure of exam, without answering 5-6 questions in math and 3-4 in verbal). 2nd mock GMAT PREP 25th March was 530 (Q38 V24. In this one I did the last 2-3 questions in math in a hurry and the same for verbal. Got 16 questions wrong on quant and after revewing them, I realized that I could have got 6 of them right. Verbal, I had 13 questions wrong. I was expecting more than V24, but dindn´t studied SC,CR and RC since 1st March, (not bad)).
And today I scored less.... Scored less and with all questions answered in Quant and Verbal, did last 2 questions of each section without enough time.
b) First 2 months I did Verbal OG16 (1h/day). March I did Quant OG16 in 3 weeks. Last 7 days, studying 5h/day. I was focused on SC and CR, using scholaranium from
e-gmat.
Got 75% accuracy for easy SC, 65% for Medium, 40% for Hard.
For CR 93% easy and Medium 45%.
Quant I was practicing Medium and hard problems, was getting 50% accuracy on hard.
Basically, I was conditionally accepted to Rotterdam Erasmus University in Msc Marketing Management. I mean "Conditionally" because I need to get a 600 on GMAT and report this before 15th May, that gives me 45 days to improve my score.
What would be my best shot?
Im working full time. I can say that I will have 1h weekday to study, +3/4h weekend day + 3or4 days off with 5/6h of study day, this leave me with 40h-50h of study for either verbal or quant or both.
Since I applied 1/3 of the time on Quant and got from 28-39, should I apply again the same rule (15hfor quant and 30h for verbal), expecting a 3/4 points inprovement in Quant towards 43/44 and fighting for a V28 in verbal?
Thanks in advance
I wish good luck for all of you!
