Any advice on how to improve from 750 to 770 in 2 weeks?-ESR Attached-

Question

Hi,

Yesterday took gmat at a test center and scored 750 (q50,v41). I had scored 740 (q50,v39) 5 years ago, and 2 months ago decided to take the test again with a target of 770.

I was able to score that in gmat prep mock exams (last two are 770,q51,v44 and 770,q50,v45). I know 750 is a solid score but I know I can score 770 to improve my chances of getting a scholarship from a top school in Europe. So, I'm planning to retake the test (probably online this time) ASAP.

I am attaching my ESR, and would appreciate any suggestions about possible areas of quick improvement.

Also, never had the need to study on quant previous time, and always scored 51 on mock tests. This time, I am going between 50 and 51, but I don't know how to improve and seal a 51 since I never actually needed to study quant ...

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi  sevkar ,

Congratulation for 750. Anyways, I am not here to give you any advice but I need some advice from you regarding Verbal. My score is not improving in Verbal especially in CR. What should I do in CR? Need help

Thanks

Hi, my advice would be, after really developing a habit to properly pinpoint conclusion and premises, solve tons of official questions and read the explanations of your wrong answers, rather than studying the theory of CR for many hours.

Probably, to improve your quant score, and lock in Q51, you have to work on your less strong areas of quant. To do so, you would go through the various quant topics and find the types of questions you find difficult, take a long time to answer, or would prefer not to see on the test. Once you have found those topics, you would work on them one by one, first doing a thorough review of the underlying concepts related to a topic and then practicing by answering dozens of questions that involve that topic.

Also, if you are making careless mistakes in quant, you could get some insights regarding how to be more accurate by reading this post.  Improving Your Accuracy on the GMAT

In verbal, you didn't miss many questions, but still, you could do better in CR in particular, and clearly your accuracy in general could be higher. To improve your verbal performance, you need to become even better at seeing what's going on in questions and at telling the difference between trap choices and correct answers. To develop those skills, do untimed analysis of many verbal questions and seek to clearly define what makes incorrect choices incorrect and correct answers correct.

Hi Sevket,

First off, a 750/Q50 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to ANY Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is NOT necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement - and those details are important, since your time would likely be better spent on improving other aspects of your application (and not on trying to raise an already exceptional GMAT Score a couple of points). There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
