440 on Mock. What is best way to learn CONTENT?

Hello,

700 is a great goal and our course, Economist GMAT Tutor, can help you get there. We have over 5,000 practice exams (mostly retired real GMAT questions) that will help you hone your skills. I would recommend that you try it for yourself -- we offer a free 7-day trial with no obligation to continue. Check us out at https://gmat.economist.com.

We hope to hear from you!

Sincerely,
Elizabeth

Hey there ham!

Personally, I found that the best way to deal with content was to work on "low level" GMAT books. Here are two that I used:

https://books.google.co.in/books?id=52NIs40n5rYC
https://books.google.co.in/books?id=esT0bNJoxDQC

I used these books to "boot strap" my future preparation. They focus more on the content than on the tricks.

The Magoosh GMAT mobile app is a streamlined version of the Magoosh product. You can download this app for free. If you are not a Magoosh premium user, you only get access to a little bit. If you are a premium Magoosh user, then you can sign in and use the app to watch all the lesson videos on your phone. For Magoosh practice questions, you still have to use the web, although of course, many Magoosh users also answer our practice questions by accessing the web via a mobile device.
Does all this make sense?

I greatly appreciate the feedback. Although I highly respect the different sales pitch, I am not inclined to purchase any more prep courses. The spiel for each one is exactly the same. I did ask for course but would like to adjust my concern.

Would love to hear about strategies for someone who was weak in both areas and how they overcame the challenge?

I won't give up because giving up is too easy.

Ok, it is slightly ironic that you have folks coming in from test prep companies and they all pitch for their material...quite funny!

However, if you'd like to have an impartial account of some of the sources that helped me on my GMAT you could click on the link in my signature to go to my debrief.

In short - MGMAT guides for SC and RC, Power Score CR bible for CR, MGMAT quant guides, 6 MGMAT club tests, GMAT Club tests for quant and 800 Kaplan book constitute what helped me do well on the GMAT.

Also you have a brilliant test resource in GMAT Prep tests that come with GMAT prep software from the official makes of GMAT, all for free! Go to mba.com However, use these tests very judiciously when you really want to get a hang of your preparedness. These two tests are very precious cos they give you a very good idea on your score range on the real GMAT.

Great de-brief!

I have read it again and again for insight. A lot of great tips. You started off extremely well at 700. I have a long uphill battle and mountain are only fun to climb when they are uphill.
