Hello Gmatclub-Members,
I would be really happy about your help. The last two months
I completed all the MGMAT Books and the the questions in the Official Guide. Now I am thinking about how to continue my studies to reach my goal.
Goal:
I want to reach a score of 720-740, but would accept any score 700+ (which I think is an amazing score and I would be more than happy to get such a score).
I aim for
90th percentile in quant and 80th percentile in verbal.
Background:8 months ago I already took the GMAT and also prepared for it part-time for several months (completed all
MGMAT maths books, but did not have enough time for verbal:
MISTAKE). I scored 48 in quant, but only 28 in verbal (I was really stressed because I did a full-time internship in asset management at an international bank at that time).
Two months ago I started preparing for GMAT again. I did a diagnostic test with GMATPrep and scored 640 (Q45, V33). After I finished 3 out of 5 quant books and 2 out of 3 verbal books, I did a
MGMAT CAT (
untimed): 670 (Q47 & V34). Now I completed all books and am thinking about how to continue my studies.
Future Study Plan:I want to improve my total score and verbal score, as this is my weak part. But I also would like to improve my quant score by another 3 points. That´s why I think I should focus the next weeks on verbal.
Verbal: How do you think I can improve my verbal score? I understand the concepts in the GMAT SC book, but I am not sure if I can apply all the concepts properly. After reading lots of positive feedback about the
e-gmat verbal course (I am not a native speaker), I thought about doing that course for the next weeks. What are your experiences with that course? Do you have other recommendations how I could improve my score in verbal?
Quant: I believe Quant is my strength, that´s why I think I should not put too much attention on it during the next weeks. I thought about doing some quant questions from the
OG Quantitative review every second day and review all my notes/summaries, so I don't forget what I learned. But what can I do after I finished with verbal to boost my quant by another 3 points? I thought about purchasing the
Manhattan GMAT Quant book? Any experiences? Do you think it could help me? Also I believe that I need to do many more difficult Quant questions to improve my score. Most of the questions in the
OG were too easy. Could
gmatclub tests help me improve my score?
Conclusion:The next 3 days I will revise all the things I learned and also do another
MGMAT CAT untimed. Then I would like to do the
e-gmat verbal course, while revising every second day some quant. After that I would concentrate on
MGMAT Advanced Quant and
gmatclub tests.
What do you think? Do you have any recommendations? What should I change? Do you thing that my study plan is plausible?Looking forward hearing from you!
