Hi experts, I currently have a GMAT Focus score of 495 (Q77, V76, V70), and my target is to reach 605 by the middle of May. I have been using GMAT Club for practice for nearly three weeks, and I really like it!
My foundation in all sections is relatively weak, but I am currently focusing on Quant and Verbal. Every day, I use the PS question sets shared by bb (many thanks to @bb!) to practice. I focus on one question type per day, working through problems ranging from 505 to 655 level. So far, I’ve completed about 1,200 questions across six question types.
I plan to apply the same approach to Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning—following structured question lists from easy to difficult—and aim to take the official exam once my mock test scores reach above 600.
I would like to ask : is this approach effective? Or do you have any additional suggestions?
Thanks please help!(Also, many thanks to @hr for sharing the weekly study plan!)
This is ideally the best way to build strong fundamentals and accuracy before moving to tougher questions. If you can extract quality learning from these practice sets, getting to 600+ should become much easier once you’ve covered all the topics

Hi @bb and Team,
I took a quiz and intentionally opted for one passage (I wanted to time myself). However, when the quiz started, the timer was set to 6 minutes and there was only one question. I’m not able to understand why this happened.
Weird. @bb - Any idea why this could have happened?

Open the topic - it likely had only 1 question attached to it.

So quiz is setting a lower bar of 6 mins when the RC has less than 3 questions? Because I know it adds up time if there are more

Yes. It starts at 6 mins at that’s likely the least number - 3 questions. I would like to see this exact question this was so we can remove it.

Yes, the RC passage was a weird one with 1 question only. Moved it to archive : marcus-tullius-cicero-was-a-roman-statesman-and-philosopher-in-the-fin-447152.html

Thank you for your reply! I’ve tried many methods, and this one seems to be the best for me.

Hi @bb, I have a couple of doubts:
For CR, once we know all question types, what should be the priority order for focused practice?
We know Strengthen, Weaken, and Assumption are common, but how much time should we spend on less frequent types like Evaluate, Paradox, or Complete the Passage to stay efficient for the GMAT Focus?
For Quant, could you share frequently tested subtopics within each major area so we can prioritize our prep better?

Hi @bb, Can you please suggest what are some of the best strategies to improve DS accuracy under time pressure? I’ve been able to solve all questions but take a lot of time, which during tests result in random marking due to time pressure.
