Hello guys,
Here is my situation,
I have concentrated too much time on doing single exercises on the past 2 months and my test is in 3 weeks time now.( 31st of Jan). In my diagnostic test in November; I scored only 390 : Verbal : 23/28 % ; Quantitative 20 / 8 % Total : 390 / 11 %. This was due to a lack of preparation and especially poor time management ( since I wasted 20 min on 1 question). In the past two months I have only revised the maths section since this was my weaker topic, but I am considering taking full practice tests so that I can revise both topics. I can spend on average 6 hours a day till the exam date since I don't have lessons now.. but efficiency is my main concern as I feel I am not progressing rapidly enough. I am going to take private tuition to boost my maths skills but I feel like that's not going to help as much on the overall test strategy , verbal skills and exam technique...so I am thinking of taking as much as exam papers as possible ( e.g 12 ) . I do know whether that is a good strategy.. maybe I should focus more on quality rather than quantitty and take less. What do you reccomend?
I am currently using the MC-Graw's HIll 2006 version with 12 adaptive exams but I have to give that back. ! I am thinking of getting the 2011 version but that only contains 6 tests.. are older books still valid ??
Kind Regards,
Mass.

Considering your time constraint I would try to concentrate on doing as many of the official GMAT questions if possible. My advice is to make sure you understand the problems that you are doing rather than trying to get in as many problems as possible. If you learn the concepts you can apply them to many other problems. Good luck.

I agree with the previous post. I would spend my time on getting my concepts right and work on full length practice tests. Take atleast 4 or 5 full length practice tests before you give your final exam. This should help you in getting your timing right.
