Hey all,
I'm completing the
MGMAT online course today. I think the course is pretty good and has certainly helped in my preparation. More than anything, it's kept me on a study schedule with rigorous homework assignments (worth the price of admission in itself).
Thus far I've taken 3
MGMAT CATs and scored:
590 Q31/V41 (zero prep) - the V was readjusted and probably a 39 or 40
620 Q42/V33 (three weeks of class) - I was rushed and fell I half-asses the verbal
650 Q43/V36 (eight weeks of class but taken fairly cold - no flashcard review, no review of problems I'm missed in the past, no revisiting previous class sessions, etc. I was nervous and edgy too - with a practice test!)
My goal is to get 720 or higher by September so I'm looking for some advice from you guys!
My plan:
1) Review all the prior classes and all the workbooks and make flashcards with stuff that I tend to forget after a few days. This will be study/cram material.
2) Complete all the
OG problems, again, and again, and again.
3) Complete the
MGMAT question bank problems, again, again, and again.
4) Complete the three remaining
MGMAT CATs about 2-3 weeks apart with solid studying before hand (I hate to say "cram" but 1-2 days of intense study before helps keep it fresh).
5) Do the GRE CATs a week or two before the actual GMAT.
6) Get 770 on the GMAT! OK... wishful thinking
I've responded well to study so I really don't think I've reached my actual potential with the CATs. I also find myself making stupid, stupid mistakes when I go back and review them (on the Q of the test I got a 650 on I screwed up the 1st two Q problems which were very, very easy). I'm hoping to rectify this by reminding myself what I already know with the flashcards and to not get so damn nervous.
So thoughts? Any other advice is very much welcome! Thanks!
