GMAT 650 to 700

Question

Hi folks,

I took 1 official mock and 1 from my gmat mock in the course that I enrolled in. The course claims the mock is close to the official algorithm

Mock 1 - 640 (Q49, V28)
Mock 2 - 650 (Q47, V32)

I have my GMAT on 23rd November and I can spend the entire of next 5 days on the preparation.

I want to hit 700 and I feel I can.

Please help me with all possible tips. It will be really really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Use the last week only to revise the concepts, with special emphasis on question which you got wrong while attempting the Mocks. All the Best.

Hi  kashking

I agree with Suraj. To add, try to restrict yourself to official ques during these days until real GMAT exam. You can take another official mock and thoroughly revise the answers. You'll find expert discussions for each and every official ques on this platform.

Hi kashking,

While you might be tempted to "cram" during these next 5 days, you have to be careful about trying to do too much studying (since 'cramming' rarely leads to great results with Tests such as the GMAT - and we do NOT want you to inadvertently burn-out before Test Day). In these last few days, you should limit your studies to general practice and light review (again - NO CATs and NO 'cramming') - a reasonable task would be to review your CATs/mocks to determine WHY you were getting questions wrong (since there's a big difference between getting questions wrong because you made silly mistakes and getting them wrong because you simply did not know how to answer them). You would also be well-served by getting some extra rest so that you can go into Test Day calm, clear-headed and ready to work.

The type of Score improvement that you're interested in will likely take longer than just another 5 days of study, so if you plan to continue studying until you hit a 700+, then it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) What specific application deadlines are you facing?

To improve your quant and verbal skills, you may find it helpful to engage in topical quant practice.

For example, let’s say that 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, thoroughly analyze your incorrect questions. For example, if you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question?

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 and verbal topics.
