Hi yoursunshine,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. The good news is that you pulled off a fantastic quant score in just one month of prep. Great job!

Regarding verbal, although I’m unable to access your ESR, I’m going to assume that you’re looking only for Reading Comprehension advice, which I’m happy to provide. So, first off, before diving straight into Reading Comprehension practice problems, ensure that you’ve learned the foundations and strategies of Reading Comprehension questions. Furthermore, when practicing those questions, you need to develop a reading strategy that is both efficient and thorough. Reading too fast and not understanding what you have read are equally as harmful as reading too slow and using up too much time. When attacking Reading Comprehension passages, you must have one clear goal in mind: to understand the context of what you are reading. However, you must do so efficiently, so you need to avoid getting bogged down in the details of each paragraph and focus instead on understanding the main point of each paragraph. That being said, do not fall into the trap of thinking that you can just read the intro and the conclusion and comprehend the main idea of a paragraph. As you read a paragraph, consider how the context of the paragraph relates to previous paragraphs, so you can continue developing your overall understanding of the passage. Furthermore, as you practice Reading Comprehension, focus on the exact types of questions with which you struggle: Find the Main Idea, Inference, Author’s Tone, etc. Analyze your incorrect answers to better determine why you tend to get a particular question type wrong, and then improve upon your weaknesses.

Regarding the rest of your plan, it’s not necessary (and may actually be detrimental) to take a mock every day leading up to your exam. For one, you need to spend time between each mock analyzing your results and addressing your weaknesses based on those results. Without that important work, taking another practice test does little good. Secondly, you need to be fresh on test day. Taking a bunch of tests right before your GMAT could make you feel pretty drained by test day. At most, you should take only two more practice exams before your GMAT.

You also may find it helpful to read this article that provides some advice on how to treat the final week leading up to your exam as well as some test day tip.

Good luck!
