Where are you practicing from now?
I have been doing my practice from the OG 23-24 and 2021 edition...I have recently started using GMAT club so it’s a little confusing as to where to start from

I would suggest a topical learning process. Like, in quant if you attempt a bunch of 15 ques let’s say from word problems (5-Easy, 5-Medium, 5-Hard). Make sure that you reach the target accuracy of 90% in easy, 70% in medium, and 60% in hard then you can move to the next topic only if you are confident about it. This way you attain confidence and accuracy both by mastering each topic in quant. The same thing applies to verbal and DI sections both. Practicing ques by using sub-topic approach could help you to ace the test. Hope it helps!

DI is annoying. There is really very little available to improve it. There is a series of videos we put together with GMAT Nonja - I will look it up.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn5y ... -IXeej_EKf

for critical reasoning, I would highly recommend getting Manhattan or power score book. Having a strategy made a huge change for me, especially trying to answer the question in your own words before seeing the answer choices. That was the biggest contributor to the improvement of my critical reasoning score.

PS. I would say it is really good that you don’t have issues with reading comprehension! That can be very tedious and time-consuming to improve... a bit like DI, though I think DI is the toughest to improve.

Do you mean pre thinking before reading the answer choices?

I don’t know if it is pre thinking. It is just called answering the question in your own words before reading the answer choices. That strategy was developed by Kaplan 30 or so years ago 😇

Paraphrasing is when you read something and summarize, here you answer in your own words. It had no fancy name 🤷‍♂️

Hi. I am not sure about a channel, but just built a playlist for Probability and Combinations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpPMmJo ... Pid0xjzhkP

Not really... sorry. Each book is gated for online access but you are not missing much. There are not that many questions. You can check the forums ... the DI sectional sub-forums.

Well... I would actually suggest taking them as close to each other as practical so I would say within a month because a lot of success depends on very small traps and new ones things and if you wait four months, you’ll need to stay sharp and primed during that whole time and it’s really hard... You’ll get burnt out or go down on the attempt because you’ll forget the tricks you’ve learned...
