Re: One month to go, currently at 700, need to get close to 750. [#permalink]
I'm in almost the same boat as you are, trying to go from a 700 to a 750ish within the month.

I'd recommend getting the Enhanced Score Report from your last GMAT. Figure out which subsections you did the best/worst in and how much time you spent on them. You can do a similar thing by reviewing the GMATPreps. Chances are that there are a couple question types that you are great at right now, and a couple that you should focus on more. A 750 allows for very few mistakes, so concentrating on details in both quant and verbal is important... it's the little things that help at this point.

I tend to think that the "strategies" are more important than content once you push passed 700. For me, I've been trying to think about CR differently and systematically, and to use the quant techniques from EMPOWERgmat on questions that I've typically struggled with.

Hi N,

Great work on that Quant! For someone already scoring well on verbal, LSAT Logical Reasoning can give you a boost. IMHO there isn't enough tough GMAT CR in the Official Materials. Doing this LSAT work can prepare you for the toughest things the GMAT has to give and help increase your overall verbal stamina. Aside from LSAT (and maybe GRE RC), I would stick to Official GMAT Materials as much as possible. Follow up with any questions!

Happy Studies,

A.
