Hello all,
This is my first post on the forum but let me say I've been lurking for weeks now and I've found this site to be a TREMENDOUS resource for the GMAT...perhaps the BEST!
Anyway, here's my situation. Signed up to take the GMAT on June 1 (right before the switch) and aiming for a score goal of 740+ with 80/80 split. My study plan thus far (and MGMAT CAT scores) are as follows:
March 8: MGMAT CAT 1 (including AWA, before any studying): 46Q (79%)/41V (93%)/710 (94%)
3 weeks of dedicated Quant studying, using the Kaplan Math workbook (weak, I know) covering one section each day, plus 10 OG problems covering that subject area per day.
April 8: MGMAT CAT 2 (Quant only, including AWA - no Verbal): 47Q (81%)
2 weeks of dedicated CR studying with the MGMAT CR workbook, plus 7 CR questions per day in OG in addition to 1 OG RC passage/5 OG Quant problems per day
April 21: MGMAT CAT 3 (no AWA): 41Q (64%)/45V (99%)/710 (94%)
The biggest things I noticed:
-I always feel VERY pressured for time on the Quant section and end up having to guess on the last 4-8 questions to make time. I know I need to improve my timing/guessing strategies in this regard...
-Conversely, I seem to feel very relaxed on the Verbal section and have no time concerns whatsoever. On the MGMAT CAT 3 I could coast through the last 5-7 questions, taking my time.
SO, wonderful GMAT Club forum members, the questions is now what to do with 5 weeks left until the test date? I feel like my studying so far has been mostly worthless because of the decrease in Quant scores, and the area I have traditionally done best in/have done the least studying for (Verbal) is what has stayed the steadiest/improved the most.
My original study plan has me focusing on SC for the next 2 weeks, but that simply seems worthless now since SC (and verbal overall) has been my stronghold. Likewise, I have not done any dedicated RC prep but have done well on the questions on the MGMAT CATs. I'm thinking I should return to Math for a while but what would you all recommend as the best resources for it? Any books/GMATClub or other online resources you think would be the most helpful?
BTW, my weakest areas (by % correct) in Math, according to MGMAT Reports, are:
Number properties (39% right)
Geometry (44% right)
FDPs (60% right)
Algebra (61% right)
Word Translations (62% right)
Looking forward to your helpful replies
Thanks

HI!
My advice would be to get the GMATClub quant tests...........i have been facing serious timing issues too...i used to run out of time by qs 31-32......and subsequently my scores used to stagnate around 38...........after doing GMAT Club tests(and re reading strategy guides), I am now scoring 47-48(though i still run out of time at qs 35 or so).....this took about three weeks...I dont know how much of this improvement will reflect in my actual GMAT....or whether i will be able to finish the quant section at all......but at least my mocks have shown improvement ...i'm hoping for the best! (my exams are next week!!
)
BTW, you can also check out "thursdays with Ron free videos' by MGMAT .... you MUST check out the 3 videos on inequality at least!

Try giving GMAT Prep , MGMAT Quant is very time consuming, and not a good indicator of score IMHO.
