Hi all GMAT test takers, moderators, mentors, and anyone using this awesome platform.

Got a few questions:

1) I'm learning Quant from Manhattan guide books and GMAT club Math book. Have found/felt the materials sufficient so far. Also considering Ultimate Quant Megathread by Bunuel ( after finishing those). Besides practicing OG questions ( using filter option I'm practicing sub-600 level and I intend to move to next level once I get 90% accuracy). SO, IS THE APPROACH ALRIGHT AND COULD IT BE BETTER ?

2) For verbal Manhattan SC guide books are enough i believe. Powerscore for CR. RC is giving me trouble. Intend on utilizing any free platforms/subscriptions. And similar approach for verbal as with quant. SO, IS THE APPROACH ALRIGHT, AND COULD IT BE BETTER?

We are all in this battle together. Lets defeat GMAT.

Tenet :- This approach is exactly what I followed and the one that helped me reach 720. Though just a suggestion, add in few 600-700 level questions as well in your practice from a non-official source. Aim for 100% accuracy in sub-600 and >85% for 600-700 level questions. Only then move to 700 level questions.

Additionally, move on to a next topic only when you have achieved your accuracy targets for that particular topic. Once you have completed all the topics, you can start taking all the sections i.e. CR, RC and SC together in 8 CRs, 4 passages and 15 SCs at a go.

All the best!!

Hi Tenet,

Out of curiosity, have you taken any practice exams to get a baseline score? Also, what is your score goal?

Hi Tenet,

From what you've described, your studies so far have been "book heavy"; unfortunately, many GMATers who study in that way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. Even the best books are limited in what they can teach you; they also can't force you to approach questions in a certain way and their explanations are often one-sided. As such, you would likely find it beneficial to invest in some new, non-book study materials at some point in your studies.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
