Thank you all for this support. I was overwhelmed with the suggestions and opinions that I have received here
.
gmatGREdan,
I had really followed this approach in my last attempt too - the review process, still I ended up making a mess of the actual test
I plan to give myself 4-5 months time, unless I pick up speed suddenly..in this case wouldn't it be better to pick up some high school math materials?
desiaggie,
thanks for ur support here...your first two sentences gave me so much motivation!!!
Yes, I'm considering looking at Veritas books this time especially for Quant. I'm actually quite comfortable in the Verbal portion but the tired ness on test day drained me out expecially for RC questions and CR too.
windofchange,
Yes, I was also thinking of taking up Verbal first. Because once we get a hold of the Verbal section then practice alone will take us a long way and I can get this practice going along with Quant prep. Hope that helps me.
Karishma,
That's right, the esays suck up so much energy and I actually underestimated this
. This time I'm going to do every single test with the essay...is there some work around this?
I actually never had problems with the algebra or arithmetic basics..my issues has been with solving word problems, Geometry, statistics and sets.Looks like all the GMAT related questions types are giving me trouble
.I"ll need to get the basics right for such word problems and also learn to solve them within the time limit.
In my last attempt I clearly remember why I messed up Quant
I took each question too seriosuly..I need to work on timing and test taking strategy this time around so that I know which questions to skip and which to spend those extra 30 seconds on. Also, I'm thinking of the VEritas books for Quant(heard good things about it).
Thank You all, again
. I have got the motivation to pick up my books again...
I am yet to make a plan for myself. This plan will help me stick to deadlines. i'm not going to book the test this time until I'm consistently scoring above my target score in ever test. In my last prep, in Feb-march, I was scoring well during the peak of my prep and then the score started falling down by 30-40 points in the last 3 weeks leading to the test(may be test stress as well). I should have taken the cue but I didn't and went ahead with the test to see a score that I had never seen on any GMAT prep, including the ones before any GMAT study at all.
