Hi ElijahTimroyalty,

I noticed that you have done well on 3rd party practice exams; however, have you taken any official GMAC practice exams? If so, can you provide the score breakdowns and dates from those practice exams? Once I have that information, I can provide some advice.

can any expert can help me with my Verbal?
I guessed all RC questions in the test coz I cannot read , I cannot concentrate, and I waste so many time, but I feel horrible about my SC, coz I did very well in all mocks, veritas, Manhattan( manhattan's SC question bank and CR bank are very easy to me, but Veritas' is hard), and prep packages123456(about these mocks, I feel normally difficult, but I still achieved scores above 700) I think I have a time management issue and testing day anxieties. but I still **** up in the MEDIUM difficulty level questions, I wanna know how many SC and CR I got correct I the exam and what I should do in the next 27 days, I booked 11th January 2022. I need 750, my Q is 50, so really need a high verbal score.

The left ESR is the one of yesterday's test; the right one is the esr of my first test few months ago

Thanks!

Hi ElijahTimroyalty,

For scoring 700 and above, you need to make sure you don’t get the easy & medium questions wrong as GMAT test is adaptive in nature. For that, being conceptually clear on all topics is really vital. Not only this, you have to be good with application of concepts also, because GMAT is a test of application of concepts. But, before application, you need to understand the motive behind the questions being asked. Once you understand that, the process of learning becomes a lot simpler and easier. If your concepts are clear and you use the right methods and strategies to solve questions, you will be able to smartly avoid the traps set by the test makers.

Looking at your ESR, you definitely have consistency issues. There are wild swings in your performance which implies that you haven’t followed a very structured approach for verbal. One possible reason could be that you’re following too many sources of information and have now confused yourself. I would suggest you to only focus and study from one source, whatever it may be.

Private Tutoring


Private tutoring is the best option if you feel you need a personal mentor to guide you through your preparation. Your performance will be constantly monitored by the mentor and based on the feedback you can prepare accordingly. This mostly works when students face difficulty in understanding concepts and require a one-on-one interaction with tutors with personalised learning. Moreover, if you feel you get distracted now and then, and need a mentor to keep you right on track till the end, I suggest you to go with private tutoring.

If you are open to suggestions, I would recommend you to check the private tutoring course offered by GMATWhiz. It offers a tailor made learning experience with highly experienced teachers at an affordable price and help you indulge in flawlessly personalised learning process. Our tutors have a minimum of 10 years teaching experience and we offer a hybrid learning experience where we combine the best of online learning (technology) with private tutoring. Also, the round-the-clock availability feature allows you to book the slot of your choice not having to worry about our availability on your convenient time. We use an AI based learning platform to do 3 things:

1. Get you a personalized trackable study plan that adapts in real time
2. Track your performance on the portal against 20+ data points for each question.
3. Help you learn the basic concepts through video lessons, thereby saving the number of private tutoring hours you need. (These video lessons are created by the same experts who teach you)

The tutor uses these data points before each session to identify the gaps in your learning and create relevant content for discussion. Hence each session is 5 times more effective than those offered by other private tutors as you get pin-point advice on exact reasons behind your mistakes. As a result, you get the maximum output with minimum number of sessions.

You can check out the free demo on GMATWhiz and decide for yourself if it is the one you are looking for.
