Hi all,
Working through the study material of Magoosh/Official Guide. Having a challenging time with the material as you slowly progress through video lessons and work problems. I took a diagnostic several months back and scored slightly below 500. My goal is 700.
My question is- should I be going through all the video lessons first/more intensive Before diving into medium and hard difficulty GMAT like questions? I say this because on quizzes I haven’t scored all that well and seem to be over my head on at least half the questions, particularly in Quant.
Thanks guys!

Hi Goody,
To start, if it's been several MONTHS since you took your first practice CAT/mock, then you should really take another one sometime soon (perhaps this weekend). The only practical way to assess your GMAT skills over time is to take FULL-LENGTH CATs at regular intervals and under realistic conditions (re: taking the FULL CAT - with ALL sections, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). In addition, there are certain aspects to taking a FULL CAT that you can only learn by actually taking a FULL CAT - and if you have to make some adjustments to your test-taking routine, then it's better to have MORE time to define those issues and fix them (than waiting to take your CATs at the 'end' of your studies, when you might not have enough time to properly improve). Each CAT also gives us a way to measure how well you are using what you have learned so far. Once you have your next CAT Score, you should post back here (or you can feel free to PM me directly) and we can discuss the results and how you might best proceed with your studies.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Firstly, I would suggest you to find your weak areas and work on it to bridge the concept understanding. Then, you can try solving some quant questions on that topic difficulty wise to check your accuracy.
