Plus GMAT Advanced (this is official GMAC) is also a great source to practice difficult CR and RC, but again it has a limited number of questions which you may be done solving in a couple of weeks. But good exposure nevertheless to difficult CR/RC

You can select GMAT Advanced in the source filter of GMAT Club
Hi Are you sure GMAT advance is official material ? Like I thought GMAT Club had not included Official question in the Forum Quiz, but the Forum quiz has the GMAT Advance tag so I am confused how they have included it ?

I would like advice please:
My target score is late 500s(which I understand might appear low to a few but that's besides the point).
I took official mock 1 a week ago and scored 575 which was pretty much alligned to my scores in gmatclub sectionals. Today i scored 625 in official mock 2. The second mock felt pretty hard comparatively to first mock and I felt pretty overwhelmed throughout quant section( though I doubt it stems from lack of topical knowledge) and guessed a lot on quant in it. Surprisingly I scored 78 quant which is pretty decent for me since I have mostly ranged in 74-76 in quant otherwise.
My reservations are: what should Infer given such high variability in my mock scores, should I take second mock score with only pinch of salt or see it as genuine improvement(which I doubt given the situation I explained of my poor quant approach in second mock). What can I do in month and half I have remaining of preparation to at least maintain if not Improve this score.
Experienced seniors kindly help out.

Hey! I wouldn’t completely rule out the possibility that you have genuinely improved from all the practice you’ve been putting in and mocks are also just snapshots (like you might get questions you like in one test scoring better overall than the other). And as you said, you might have gotten a bit lucky, but that can happen even on the actual test since we usually end up making a few educated guesses there. I think you are sitting pretty well within your target score range right now. At this point, it might be better to invest more time in Quant, where you can probably get the maximum ROI by making sure you are getting the questions you know right. Try to identify your stronger areas and sharpen those , while also covering easy-level practice across the board. The biggest thing would be to minimize mistakes on lower-difficulty questions, because those can hurt quite a bit. If you can clean those up and stay consistent on the questions you know, you should be in a good position to maximize your score

John is trying to get from point A to point C, which is 20 miles away to the northeast; however the direct road from A to C is blocked and John must take a detour. John must travel due north to point B and then drive due east to point C. How many more miles will John travel due to the detour than if he had traveled the direct 20 mile route from A to C?

(1) The ratio of the distance going north to the distance going east is 4 to 3

(2) The distance traveled north going the direct route is 16

Can we get this Geometry + TSd type of questions in actual GMAT

Can we get this Geometry + TSd type of questions in actual GMAT

This question is discussed here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/john-is-tryi ... 19086.html


Check these two topics:

  1. GMAT Syllabus for Focus Edition
  2. Geometry Tested on GMAT Focus?

While specific geometry knowledge is not tested on GMAT Focus, not everything involving shapes, volumes, or areas requires specialized geometry knowledge. The area of a square or rectangle, the volume of a cube or rectangular solid, and the Pythagorean theorem are not considered specific geometry knowledge by the GMAT and can still be tested. Moreover, a question can involve shapes but test another area, such as combinations or other topics. There are several questions involving these concepts in the GMAT Prep Focus mocks

The chapter on coordinate geometry, including planes and slopes, is still present in the recent Official Guides. That said, it is tested to a much smaller extent. For example, you might see some questions involving graphs, either in Problem Solving or in Data Insights graph-based questions. However, those usually fall under the functions category rather than pure coordinate geometry, so they typically won’t involve distance calculations, angles, or similar topics.

Hey, presently I am at 465 and target is 615+ in two months, exam is on 10 Oct’26. I have gone through the concepts (mostly, Magoosh and Youtube) couple of times. Yet it is takes me 5+ minutes average to solve any question (Q, V or D) with 70% accuracy. Please suggest is an approach/roadmap to get 615+ in two months. Conceptual lack is not something that is bothering, but still the score is low as mentioned above. Any guidance is highly appreciated. Feel free to DM as well.

If you are not scoring 615+ then conceptual clarity is an issue and we overlook it ( I did the same mistake xD)
I would recommend you to use https://gmatclub.com/study-plan/ stick to it and since you have less than 2 months, you probably have to put ~30 hours per week.

Are you aware of the streaks method? It helped me cut down my procedural errors. And don’t call them silly mistakes, because that framing takes the accountability out of it. They are YOUR mistakes.
