One month to go!!! [#permalink] New post   12 Aug 2016, 00:07
Hi,

I have been preparing for GMAT for about 6 weeks now and I have the test in a month.
My test scores so far:
Test 1: GMATPrep: 620
Test 2: MGMAT cat 1: 640(Q41/V36)
Test 3: MGMAT cat 2: 640(Q42/V35)
Test 4: MGMAT cat 3: 670 (Q45/V36)
all tests were takes with 1 week gap.

I am very slow in quant and have to guess last 5 question. For verbal, CR is my weakest. I have finished OG quant and I am now doing topic based questions for areas that I am weak in such as absolute values, inequalities, statistics, probability etc. For verbal I have done more than half of the OG.

Can you please suggest strategy/study plan and resources for this one month? Any suggestions on what to focus on will be really helpful. Thanks!

Hi ish137,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you're looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) What materials have you used during your studies?
2) Did you take the FULL CAT each time (with the Essay and IR sections)?

3) What is your goal score?
4) When is your exact Test Date?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

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

Hi ish137,

Before providing some specific advice, I would like some more insight into your GMAT preparation and goals.

1) Describe your study routine. What resources have you been using to study? For how many hours a day have you been studying?

2) When you took your practice tests, did you take them under realistic conditions (e.g. in a quiet environment, no extended breaks)? Did you complete the entire CAT, including the IR and Essay sections? Also, when do you plan to take another offical MBA.com exam?

3) What are the MBA programs to which you plan to apply? What deadlines are you targeting?

4) What is your GMAT score goal?

5) Have you mostly used the Official Guide to learn and practice GMAT quant?

Hi ish137,

It looks like you need a study plan that you can stick to. Here is a customized one month study plan that can help boost your score: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... study-plan

Use this as a guideline. You don’t have to follow it exactly but the structure of the study plan should be the same structure that you take in your approach. This helps to optimize your retention and learning.

As you study, we recommend that you focus on one particular subsection for multiple consecutive days before moving onto the next. You can see this in our study plan where we recommend 5 days on nothing but SC -- before moving onto CR and then RC.

Here is a sample SC video to help you start your journey: https://www.gmatpill.com/sentencecorrect ... ythons.mp4

Best of luck - we are here to help.
