Hey everyone! Just took the official GMAT Focus practice exam cold (absolutely no prep) and landed a 585:
Quant:82
Verbal: 78
Data Insights:77
I’m targeting 685-690+ and planning to prep seriously from here. Quant feels like my strongest section, but I want to seriously level up DI and Verbal.
Would love your help on a few things:
1. Data Insights — This felt the most unfamiliar. Any good resources to get comfortable with the question types (DS, MSR, graphs)? Structured courses or YouTube channels that break it down well?
2. Verbal— RC felt okay but CR took time. What’s the best way to build speed and accuracy here?
3. Mock exams — Beyond the official mocks, what are the most realistic practice tests? (I’ve heard mixed things about third-party mocks)
4. Question banks / practice sets — Any solid platforms for drilling specific question types?
5. Any good online course for verbal and DI that u can suggest ?
Open to any advice — study plans, timelines, what worked for you. Appreciate it!
