Hi All,
I've just created the first in a series of videos on the GMAT.
In video 1 I introduce myself and walkthrough my GMAT journey.
Video 2 will contain my recommended approach.
Congratulations and a great video. Marty sounds like the man!
Would you say that your Prep before January 2019 was pointless, and your improvements only started to occur once you tackled TPP & Verbal with a different view? Like you would have still achieved a 710 if you started from that point on January?
Also where can I find your study blog?
Posted from my mobile deviceIt wasn't pointless. Think of it as Darwinism - we must adapt to survive. I merely went through evolution. When you go at something for so long, something needs to mould, change, or stick. Albeit, this level of thinking takes some serious and regular introspection- constantly questioning what you are doing.
As Ray Dalio says: "PAIN + REFLECTION = GROWTH"
Similarly, I failed 6 times at the GMAT and constantly made mistakes along the way - on the day of the exam I got 2-3 easy SC and RC questions wrong LOL... I initially **** myself, but I moved past it. My mind was just in the zone and I said to myself "Nothing will get in the way of me getting my score".
After I constantly failed, I reflected on the experiences, then grew each time. And that i why I succeeded.
I will say that my approach prior to January was inefficient and not right.
Logically, you must learn a concept, then do tons of questions on that concept and achieve perfect streaks of consecutively correct questions starting from sub-600, then 600, then 700 level difficulty. This method will require coaching and its something that
MartyTargetTestPrep introduced to me, then when I started working on the method, correct me if i'm wrong here Marty, but I think I was leading by example among your students lol...
If I were to go back in time and tell myself the approach I now know, then I'd most certainly achieve the score in a shorter amount of time. But you know, hindsight is 20/20.
Definitely hit up Marty if he has time to take on people.
