How to get 90th percentile? [#permalink] New post   14 Sep 2015, 10:49
I am a chartered accountant from India. I have gone through MGMAT 10 book course 3 times. Now I have begun practicing questions from Official Guide. I am getting 60-70% of the questions right. However, my target is to get over 90th percentile. I am confused over the course of action to be adopted in such a situation. Should I refer some other book or focus on practicing more questions from various sources? Or any other advice that can help. Thanks!

Hi Sanky7,

Since you posted this in another Forum, I've pasted over my response from there:

From what you describe, it sounds like you're confusing 'percent correct' with 'score percentile' - these are different things.

1) What is your ultimate score goal? Is it 700+ (that would be the 90th+ percentile overall)?

If you've used a resource 3 full times already, it's likely that you'll need to invest in some NEW resources (and not just redo material that you've worked through many times already).

2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

If you are getting 30-40% questions wrong in the OG, it means you have some conceptual gaps in the "applying" and "creating" aspects. Read more about this here: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/gmat-curriculum/
Most of OG questions are within the 500 - 650 difficulty range. So to get 700+, you need to review the theory from a complete set of curriculum. Practice questions alone may not make much difference.

since you are a chartered accountant from India, I believe you are good in quant. MGMAT books in quant provide good amount of basics but for further hard concepts and practice questions go for veritas quant books. If you weak in verbal like me, then Check which section of verbal you are facing problems.
If you have a problem with SC-get enrolled EgmatSC its good for verbal than any other book(even MGMAT SC)
CR and RC- even I'm trying to figure out the strategy to beat them
