Hi all,

I've been a avid reader of the forum though this is my first time posting to seek help!
Here's my score breakdown:
IR: 8, 93%
Quant: 49, 75% (wow, 75% only! the competition is tight! :lol: )
Verbal: 35, 75%
Overall 690, 86%.

I know this might not be a shabby score to others, but i really want to improve my score (esp Quant) to improve my chances in applying for Mfin courses in UK. I was so hoping that I could get like 720++..
I've used Manhattan Gmat Prep + OG 17 so far. Any advice what I should do next? OG Maths'17? Manhattan Advance Quant?
Thanks in advance for your kind advice!

One or two points on Quant won't do much for your overall score. I'd start by looking over your most recent practice tests (or take a new one if it's been a while!) and specifically trying to find weak areas in Verbal. At a 35, you probably have some easy points to pick up, and you have a lot more room to improve in Verbal than in Quant.

Thanks for all the advice! I guess I was just stubborn.. The verbal piece do seem more easy to tackle now after you guys mention it.

Should I just try OG Verbal'17? Or any good materials to recommend that I could strengthen my basics?

Hi,

To strengthen basics use GMAT club grammar book and MGMAT verbal foundations. MGMAT strategy guides also would be of help to you. Additionally you can have a look at Thursdays with Ron videos

You can go through the below link to refer all study material for Verbal. It is very useful and exhaustive.
For RC, u can refer to Manhattan guide.

Hi guys,

I thought it would be nice to give an update. Took my second test today and got a 710! Q49 and V38. Thanks to the advice above, I practised on my verbal instead, would hope for slightly better results but given that I didn't have much time to study, I doubt I can improve much in time.
I guess this is it. Will try to apply for the mfin courses! Thanks again guys!
