Good luck!! And remember to use all the free mock exams and trials, variety will make the month go faster.
With me its different story I do better at home than at test center. My major weakness is verbal, I scored 46 on quant in last test but only 23 in verbal . I an mot native English speaker that could be the reason for low verbal score. I am pretty sure if I work little hard I can increase my quant from 46 to 49 at max but what about verbal is there a way I can add atleast 5 points to it
You have to start with an Excel sheet and keep track of your weakness, after you know if it is SC, RC or CR you can look for strategies for each one, and concentrate in that one. I also had a low verbal at the beginning but I figured out that it was because of SC... usually that is the weakness of we "the not native". After I figured out, I did all the SC of the
OG 13th edition, all the SC of the
OG verbal and got my hands in a lot of Idioms flash cards.
There is not easy way sorry, but SC it´s the easiest to correct... RC or CR are harder because it has to do with reading practice. I told you I'm not a 700's but for me it worked for RC this strategy to gain some time: If I was reading about science... a rare protein that this something to the brain, I worked with keys words and reductions that made sense, I didn't try to remember 'axon hillock' but 'Axh'.
When you know which is your weakness look out the strategies, 250.000 people take the test every year, don't invent the wheel and look for the strategies that already worked for other people.
I highly recommend
Magoosh because it worked for me. You can try it for free during a week and download the free idioms and math cards to your phone, and this is the invite from my account
