So I plan to take my GMAT by 10th December and I need to increase my Quant Score by 5-6 points (currently @Q42-44) and Verbal Score by 4-5 points (currently V33-34). I know it is going to be a stretch and since I won't be working, I will have a lot of time to dedicate to my prep.
Verbal has been my stronger suit since the beginning but I still need to pump it up a little bit to get a solid score. I feel like I can get this done with or without some help.
My Quant Score has more or less been cemented around 42-44. Therefore, I definitely need help when it comes to Quant.
I was considering taking either the Math Revolution Short-Cut 51 or Empower's 1-month crash course. For me, here are the pros and cons:
Math Revolution
Pros: Highly Quant focused
Cons: No Verbal
Empower
Pros: Balanced
Cons: Not as extensive in Quant comparatively
It would be amazing if someone could give me advice regarding the same. Please share your experience and recommend me what to do.
Alternatively, are there any other options I might be overlooking?
Thanks

Hi abansal1805,
A little over 2 months ago, you posted a similar story and goal (https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-impro ... l#p1931394). Regardless of how you've been studying since that time, you appear to be scoring at the same general level. Back then, we discussed the possibility that you might have gotten 'stuck' at that level - and it certainly now appears that that is the case. By extension, it will take a certain amount of time and effort to get 'unstuck' and hone the necessary Tactical skills to score at a much higher level. As such, you would likely need MORE than 20 days of additional study (regardless of what study materials you were using) to hit your Goal Score.
It sounds like you're going to attempt to 'cram' over the next 20 days, but that type of approach doesn't often lead to great results on the GMAT. I think that the EMPOWERgmat Course could help you a great deal, but you're going to need to commit to roughly 2 months of consistent, guided study to earn that higher Score.
