I have been preparing for gmat from last 2 months. I was quite satisfied with my preparation with good score in gmat prep tests.

prep 1 - 710 (Q50 V35)
prep2 - 720 (Q50 V38)
prep 3- 730 (Q50 V39)

today I appeared for gmat prep 4 but got 650 (Q49, V31). i am completely devastated. I don't know what went wrong, as today I was more calm and mentally prepared compared to previous mocks.

After analysing all my mocks I found that my performance in SC is not up to the mark. Every time i am making more mistakes in SC compared to CR and RC. In today's mock there were 7 incorrect SC compared to 3 CR and 4 RC.

My target score is 700+. Although I still believe that i can cross 700, but due to today's performance I am in dilemma.

Should i delay my exam, if not than how to go about it. How to improve SC, I have completed MGMAT SC 3 times, but i am not able to apply all the rules during mocks. While solving OG13 and VR2 my accuracy in SC was around 80%.

I need some valuable suggestion.


SC is important and it kind of trickles into the other CR and RC sections. Your SC ability to spot and understand sentence structure will help you read faster and better comprehend sentences and paragraphs. So do put the effort into SC as the benefits can potentially trickle into better reading speed and comprehension.

When you study OG -- make sure you review your mistakes. It may be helpful to compare your approach with ours shown in these videos: https://www.gmatpill.com/official-guide-gmat/
