Hi everyone,
I just had GMAT exam today and I was so shocked when I saw the unofficial reports. I have constantly scored at a 80% in OG both verbal and quant in timed conditions, and I do strictly adhere to the no notes no calculators rule when was attending the GMAT prep exams...
Yet here I am today , sitting with a disappointing 620. Now I am struggling to find the materials to patch up my knowledge gaps and polish my exam skills, and I really cannot afford things that are too expensive.
Do you have any suggestions for me?
P.S. I am a sophomore student and I still have 2-4 months to spare on GMAT.
I would much appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Strugglin

Hi Strugglin
I would like to share with you my experience regarding the quant. I got Q51 with no course, but with the help of the content of this club.
here is my recipe:
1- study each topic from this megathread: https://gmatclub.com/forum/ultimate-gmat-quantitative-megathread-244512.html#p1886497
2- After each topic, don't jump to the next until you practice questions on it.
3- After finishing a topic, go to the questionbank https://gmatclub.com/forum/search.php?view=search_tags
4- choose the same topic, start with the easy difficulty, and choose known sources only (Offical guide, Kaplan, Veritas, Manhattan,....) and click search
5- rearrange the questions in decending order according to the number of kudos.
6- Solve the top questions (easy top 50) (medium top 25) (hard top 15)
7- for each question, use the time counter.
8- for any question that you solved too slow or solved wrong, add it to you bookmark.
9- read the explanation of each questions thoroughly (both right and wrong ones)
10- pay attention to how the questions are answered and the concept behind
11- if you find any new concept or formula, write it down in a separate paper for your reference.
12- repeat these steps for each topic by advancing from easy to medium to hard.
13- don't skip a level without making sure that the previous level is mastered (easy 90%, medium 80%, hard 65%)
14- don't skip a day without solving quant.
Gmatclub already includes a great question bank with detailed answers for all the verbal topics from professional sources and answers by experts such as GMATninja,
But here is some of the paid courses if you need to save some time:
for SC, try e-gmat SC course.
For CR and RC, Manhattan would be a good help.
Here is my 2 cents, stay safe

Sorry to hear that you scored only 620 despite scoring 700+ on GMAT Prep mocks. I would like to help you with the right study strategy but for that I would like to know the Quant and Verbal score breakdown along with the time that you can dedicate to studies every week. Please share the details with me, so that I can help you with the right strategy.
