Hi abhicoolmax,
You have awesome Quant scores - make sure to keep brushing up to stay at that level.
For Verbal, what I completely missed in your posts is your analysis of
MGMAT CAT results for Verbal section. As you may already know, accuracy is not of primary importance in GMAT (what I mean is that it is important but it cannot alone guide you about your weakness and areas to develop). I would suggest if you have not focussed on analyzing your verbal score, pls do that and share that with us. A good article on how to analyze is:
https://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/index ... ice-tests/ For all three areas: SC, CR and RC you should share accuracy along with the difficulty level of questions you got correct vs. incorrect. For example, an accuracy of 45% in SC with getting 730 level questions correct is great - this is a strength. But an accuracy of 70% with getting 670 level questions correct is not a strength (if you are aiming for 750) - it is an area of improvement. Hope this helps - I learned all this during this week while analyzing my first
MGMAT CAT scores.
And as a side note, can you share some tips on Quant? What sources you used? I'd be happy with a Q50
Hi vinayrsm,
Thanks for sharing the link that shows how to do the
MGMAT CAT analysis.
I finally did an analysis of my last test. My accuracy rate was:
Ques Total Right Wrong % Time-right Time-wrong Difficulty-right Difficulty-wrong
SC 15 8 7 0 53% 0:54 1:26 620 720
CR 14 10 4 0 71% 1:55 2:31 660 650
RC 12 6 6 0 50% 2:49 1:53 650 650
I got many difficult SC wrong. In CR I did some silly mistakes. In RC I think I am much better off right now than I was when I gave this test. Anyhow, let's see how my next test goes.
Further low level analysis did help me even more. I realized I am getting more of Assumption question wrong in CR and also helped me realize weaknesses in SC.
About tips for Quant. Man, trust me, I have hardly spent any time working on my Quant skills; however, I feel sharper in Quant than I was when I started. Just a couple of tips from me: During the test if you realize that you are taking too long, it is good quickly look at the answer choices to find cluesCA. Sometimes there is clue in the answers that help you solve more complicated problems. And in DS, it is very important to read the stimulus and come up with a simplified version of the stimulus: GMAT plays trick with many thing: positive integers, NOT telling whether the number is fraction or integer, etc. Only when you are sure about what's asked in the Stimulus, then evaluate the choices. In some of the
MGMAT tests I got few DS wrong, because I made wrong assumptions. And then I realized, I need to be extra careful with DS.
