Hello
I gave the practice Test 1, a couple days ago and I'm at 655 (DI-83/Q-85/V-80)
I felt time pressured in the verbal section and for DI and Quant, upon review, it seems like most of them are just silly mistakes, which could have been right if I was more careful while giving the test.
Any suggestions on how I shall proceed. For verbal I have looked at the whole RC and CR series on GMAT Ninja. How can I improve my VR score, while also improving slightly on DI and QR as well. I am targeting 720+ and I have 2 months.
PS: English is not my first language, and it seems like math is ;p JK
Hi ujju299,

That's a really good score, well done. Better time management in verbal and fewer silly mistakes in Q/DI could very well get you to or beyond your target score.

What else have you been doing for verbal apart from GMAT Ninja?

Hi ujju299,

So, the good news is that you are in a pretty nice spot!

That said, you do need to continue to find your holes and fix those to help improve your score. Thus, engaging in topical practice is a great way to do so. Let's use quant as an example.

For example, let’s say you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.

After each problem set, it's crucial to delve into the questions you answered incorrectly.

For instance, if you stumbled on a remainder question, take a moment to reflect. Was it a careless error? Did you fail to apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that eluded you? This analysis is key to your learning process.

By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant, verbal, and DI topics.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Good luck!
