Hello Experts,
I have been a lurker on these forums for the past 1 year and this community helped many many folks out there reach their dreams and I am hoping I'd get the same help too.
Current Status:
Quant and Verbal are equally my weak areas. Last Diag test I scored a Q29 V22 but after a lot of quant specific preparation I was able to bring up the number to Q35. I am lingering in the Q33-Q35 area for the past 1 month. I understand from one of the articles here that I might be weak with my basics, but I feel it is something different and not just the basics. Perhaps, a panic when I look at the timer running and a question on the screen I go blank!
To overcome this issue, I started practicing each question with timer on and am able to resolve most of the questions in 2 mins otherwise guess and move on. However, my problem is around How do I move to the Q50s?
I am currently, going through the MGMAT Guides + GMAT Math Book for the theory. Practice from OG + Jeff Sackmann and taking tests from the Gmat Club Tests. Recently, I started solving a lot of gmat club forum questions from the directories. First solved 500-level then gradually moving to 700-level. This definitely is working out great for me, indulging more confidence but how long can I do this? There are 100's of questions on these forums and covering all these would take forever.
I AM doing the "Why-why" approach for each question but few I naturally skip them. Could any of you help me draft/advice a proper strategy for the next 1 month to practice and excel. There is Verbal too! My strong area is SC and the other two my weak areas.
Please help. I will be able to allocate 5 hours during weekdays and 10 hours each during the weekends.
Attached here are two screenshots of my performance from gmat club tests.
Thanks,
Pretz
PS - My goal score is 750.

Hi Pretz,
There are a couple of different 'issues' here, so you have to decide what is the MOST important issue and we'll work from there.
To start, when was the last time that you took a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)? What were your scores on that CAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Next, you mentioned '1 month more', but does that mean that you already have an Official Test Date, 1 month is when want to take your GMAT or 1 month is a 'deadline' of some kind.
Given what you've described, you probably need MORE than 1 month to hit your broader goals (and there might be a limit to how high you can actually perform doing things "your way."), so what is MORE important - scoring 750 (or at least close to it) or taking the GMAT in 1 month?

Pretz,
First I just want to say, you can do this! You're approaching this experience well and demonstrating commitment to the task at hand. With that said, it seems like you have done a lot to practice new material, but how often do you review the problems you have already done? Sure you're getting plenty of questions correct, but are you always able to articulate why? Check yourself for the silly mistakes, and places where there are gaps in fundamental knowledge. You may know the fundamentals, but are you able to apply them in the heat of the moment? I struggle with that sometimes. Essentially, review those error logs and identify potential weaknesses. If you see where you went wrong in a question, make a flashcard reminding you of the particular formula/concept you missed.
Secondly, I'm sensing some mental fatigue. I'm not sure 5 hours a day and 10 hours a day are going to do you any good if it only tires you out. Furthermore, you need to give your brain a chance to solidify the material you are learning practicing. I used to teach High School drumline. If I didn't give the kids a chance to let new material soak in, they would go brain dead after practicing too many hours straight. You would be amazed what brief intentional breaks can do to solidify concepts. I'm not saying you take a week off, or even a day, but giving your self a mix of heavy study days and lighter review days may be benefitial.
Lastly, I supposed I would suggest that you not focus on a 750, not because you cannot acheive it, but because it will more beneficial for you to simply focus on one question at a time, mastering every concept for each question you face. Otherwise, you may put too much pressure on yourself to perform.
You can do this, and do it well!
I hope my post was helpful.
