Hi guys, I gave my first attempt yesterday and scored a 595. This was surprising because I was consistently scoring between 625-645 in the last 4 mocks I attempted.
I plan to give the exam again within a month's time and am hoping for an expert here to suggest an alternative strategy based on the report attached.
Some points I should highlight:
1. Quant is my strongest suit, and hence the order I attempted in was V>DI>Q
2. I would usually get 3-5 questions wrong per section in my mocks but my scores were way higher. I am wondering if it is because of getting the first couple of questions incorrect in the official exam.
3. DI is definitely a section I want to focus on and improve (the official exam questions were way more difficult than the mocks- anyone else?)- DS, non math related TPA and GI TA specifically. Any suggestions for this? and time related strategy for DI?
4. I've been using e-GMAT and CrackVerbal for my prep. Evaluating TTP for DI.
I'm aiming to score at least a 675 in my next attempt.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there!
I have recently took GMAT for the second time and scored the same as you 595 (82Q | 83V | 73 DI).
I thought that key reason for my low score was DI section, but seeing your score analysis made me wonder whether questions you get wrong really matters. Don't have idea on that.
Regarding the TTP - it has very good DI section, compared to other resources out there. It helped me score 82-85 on Mocks. in DI, but for some reason the real exam's DI section was much more difficult than practice questions I had. It had non-trivial graphs (bunch of dices illustrated), and very mixed up MSR questions that were hard to understand.
I would suggest you try TTP trial to see whether it suits your needs, I used the whole course to brush up my verbal and quant and managed to improve in these sections heavily, but as you can tell DI seems to be a difficult battle.
Good luck!
