Thank you very much for that, not improvising would be the key.
Considering the unusually large range of my GMAT Mock scores,570-680, and assuming i keep a calm head on the day of exam, is the 700+ score achievable?
I found the Quants in Manhattan to be tough, my highest scaled score being 44 in my last test.
Hi Jaydeep,
Yes, it is very much possible to do better than your mocks. Just stick to your strategies and stay cool on the day of the exam. I was scoring 44 or less in quants in
MGMAT mocks as well, and was able to get 48 on the real GMAT. The key is to stay focused and try to see how the question is trying to trap you. This holds true especially for DS. So if you see that you're getting an easy "C" answer on any question, check again. It is possible that you missed out on something and you could get the answer from the 1st or the 2nd statement alone.
For number properties, remember to check all possible options in DS. For example, if the question states that "x is an integer", be sure to check -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2. If the question stem doesn't mention anything about "x", then check all possible options like -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, proper fractions, and improper fractions.
For probability, I would suggest that you don't worry about it. It is not a very frequently tested topic anyway. Plus, with just 2 days to go there's nothing much you can do to improve on it. Just stay confident with what you know and be smart on the exam. And no matter what scores you get on your mock today, don't let it get to you (be it a good score or a bad score).
All the best!
