GMAT in 5 days

Question

Hi, what is the best study strategy i can adopt if i have to prepare the GMAT exam in 5 days? I would study h24, and i am 100% committed , i just need a plan and some hope. I want to reach a minimum of 650. I did the GMAT official test acquired on the mba website and i scored 610. How can i improve? 
Thanks very much! And please give me some hope!

The gmatclub study plan post may be helpful to check out. Fair to say including another Official-Mock and doing Official questions (i.e. from the OG 2022) would be a solid choice if you've decided to take the test in 5 days. Ultimately, 5 days may not be enough to hit your potential so it may be worth considering a retake.

Take official mocks alongside practice questions to improve in topics you feel less confident about

Hi RETA2023,

If you are so close to your Official Test Date, then you have to be careful about trying to do too much studying (since "cramming" rarely leads to great results with Exams such as the GMAT). Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores - and it's not clear how much studying (if any) you have done so far. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) Have you done any studying so far? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
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) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi RETA2023,

To improve your quant 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 topics.
